"We know about Kamara, McGinn and Tielemans. Kamara is a long time, I think he's not going to play this season. McGinn, more or less, is 6-8 weeks out, and Tielemans is 8-10 weeks out. After those updates of those players, we need to see how we can manage central midfielders in the matches we are going to play. Ross Barkley is coming back in a few days. He has been training individually but he's so close to joining us."
"Emery also confirmed the news that Douglas Luiz is close to rejoining the club, which would boost the options in the middle of the park following the recent injury crisis. The 27-year-old previously made over 200 appearances for Villa before leaving to join Juventus in 2024. The Brazilian spent the first half of the season on loan at Nottingham Forest and is ready to return to Villa Park for the remainder of the campaign."
Youri Tielemans suffered an ankle injury at St James' Park and was replaced by Lamare Bogarde in the 74th minute of Aston Villa's 2-0 win over Newcastle. Tielemans is expected to miss 8–10 weeks. Boubacar Kamara remains sidelined long-term and John McGinn is recovering from successful surgery and is likely to be out for around 6–8 weeks. Ross Barkley has been training individually and is close to returning. Douglas Luiz is close to rejoining Villa after a loan at Nottingham Forest following his 2024 move to Juventus. Villa face RB Salzburg in their final Europa League group match with squad rotation required.
