Youri Tielemans - Three crosses, one accurate Tielemans recorded one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge.
Impact Since logging a goal and an assist in Aston Villa's Champions League opener, Tielemans' form has cooled down, showcased by his three UCL appearances thereafter. They featured him logging nine crosses (three accurate), five corners and two chances created.

Leon Bailey - Attempts five crosses Bailey registered five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Club Brugge.
Impact Bailey's lack of Premier League playing time is likely attributed to Aston Villa's Champions League success, pushing the team to use him in intercontinental games instead of domestic action. But on Wednesday, he struggled with accuracy. Despite creating multiple chances, Bailey wasted his five crosses and three corners, both of the attacking midfielder's highest in UCL action this season.

Emiliano Martinez - Six saves, one goal allowed Martinez had six saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Club Brugge.
Impact For the first time in Aston Villa's four Champions League games this season, Martinez has conceded a goal. However, it was not without a major gaffe that was not really his fault. Miscommunication, or a lack thereof, between Martinez and Tyrone Mings resulted in the latter handling the ball in open play. The handball gave Club Brugge a penalty kick that Hans Vanaken successfully scored. Despite the concession, Martinez has not allowed any goals in open play across Aston Villa's four UCL games, an incredible feat.

Matty Cash - Out Wednesday Cash (calf) is expected to miss a week with the injury he suffered against Tottenham, according to Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic.
Impact Cash was originally worried to have suffered a more serious issue. Instead it appears he's only going to miss around a week. That will rule him out against Club Brugge and Liverpool, but he should be available for Poland. Cash would also then likely be fit for a Nov. 23 clash with Crystal Palace.

Impact Cash could be heading for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury Sunday. However, he has yet to undergo scans, with a timetable for his return likely available in the coming days. He has been a regular starter, so this could be a tough loss, with Ezri Konsa likely moving to right-back if Cash misses time. He will look to be an option this week, although it seems more likely the club will keep him out until after the international break to be cautious.

Impact Rogers looks to really not be holding any sort of injury, with his substitution Sunday appearing to be more precautionary and tactical after he had received multiple kicks to the leg while being suppressed by the Spurs' defense for most of the match. That said, he will look to heal up and return for Wednesday's UCL match against Club Brugge, as he has been a regular starter this campaign.

Impact Rogers scored his third goal of the season Sunday, an unassisted strike in the 32nd minute which took the 1-0 lead. He suffered an injury in the 69th minute and was subbed off, but the injury does not appear to be serious. Head coach Unai Emery said after that match, "I think Morgan will be ok because he wanted to carry on." Regardless, Morgan's status should be monitored ahead of Wednesday's UCL match at Club Brugge.

Impact Barkley picked up the injury during a Carabao Cup clash with Crystal Palace, and is now set for a spell on the sideline. The midfielder has appeared in all but one match since joining Villa, but has only started once. With Barkley on the sideline Amadou Onana may have to shoulder more minutes.

Boubacar Kamara - Plays full 90 Wednesday Kamara started and played the full 90 in Wednesday's 2-1 Carabao Cup loss to Crystal Palace.
Impact Kamara saw his first start in some time Wednesday, with the midfielder having last earned a start for Villa in early February due to an extended absence with knee issues. That said, this is great news for the club, as he was a regular starter in the previous campaign. He will look to return to that spot soon, although that would mean he would have to bounce Amadou Onana from that starting XI.
