"Aston Villa have made no secret of their aim to return to the Champions League. They've been there before and they want more, and the truth is their freedom to bring in players while achievement financial compliance probably depends upon it. Villa are still pushing towards that goal on two fronts. They're third in the Premier League with 23 matches played despite no appreciable improvement in the transfer market,"
"Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana all spent time out of the side because of minor injuries. Crucially, they were ample cover for one another in the short-term. One by one, Emery's lost his first-choice midfielders for much longer periods. Kamara had surgery on a knee injury sustained in Villa's cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur and is done for the season."
Aston Villa are pursuing a return to the Champions League and require progress for transfer freedom and financial compliance. The team sits third in the Premier League after 23 matches, has reached the Europa League last 16, and remains in the FA Cup. The squad has suffered a rapid midfield injury crisis that began with minor absences for Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana and escalated as Emery lost his first-choice midfielders for extended periods. Kamara underwent knee surgery and is out for the season. Villa remain four points off the top of the table and continue to chase a special campaign.
