Team news prior to the UEFA Europa Conference League match between Legia Warsaw and Aston Villa.
Aston Villa will play Legia Warsaw in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday. They are in fair condition, but four players will be missing. Unai Emery is accustomed to not having two of these players available because they have been out for a while, but the other two are respectable utility players.
The primary question mark is Nicolo Zaniolo, who was left out of the matchday roster for Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. The Italian, who took a knock while playing for his country, is still doubtful for this match, especially since other left midfielders in the team are having successful runs.
Strong winger Bertrand Traore hasn’t played recently because of some muscle soreness. He was a hero last season with amazing goals against Nottingham Forest and Leicester City. Emiliano Buendia, the attacking midfielder, and Tyrone Mings, the central defender, have both suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries, and they will take a very long time to heal.
