Lucas Digne - Expected to be fine Digne was removed from Saturday's match against Wolves because of a stomach issue, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact Digne was immediately back in the starting XI following a return from a muscle injury and then he had to be taken off almost immediately Saturday because of a stomach bug. He should be fine for the upcoming game against Tottenham and he'll hope to regain the form he had more than a month ago.

Danny Ings - Misses loss to Wolves Ings wasn't in the squad for Saturday's loss against Wolverhampton due to the birth of his child.

Impact Ings missed out after the international break because his wife was in the hospital having their child, so he's expected back next match. Ings has had a couple top performances of late, but he hasn't gone more than 79 minutes in his last four starts and was removed from the starting XI the last time he was available (before the break).

John McGinn - Fills stat sheet in loss McGinn had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in five crosses (two accurate), made six tackles (three won) and two interceptions, drew four fouls and was shown a yello...

Impact McGinn had another brilliant performance for Villa, bossing the middle of the park and also being a menace on set pieces. He has been one of the best fantasy performances between holding midfielders as of late, with six chances created, 22 crosses, 19 tackles and six interceptions over the last four starts. Up next for McGinn is Saturday's home clash against Tottenham.

Ollie Watkins - Converts PK in loss Watkins scored a penalty goal, had four shots (two on target) and created two chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Wolves.

Impact Watkins was very active on the attacking end, but missed some nice scoring chances. It was already too late when the striker converted a penalty suffered by himself in the 86th minute for what was just a consolation goal for Aston Villa. With three goals over his last six starts, Watkins will try to keep adding to his tally during next Saturday's home match against Tottenham.

Lucas Digne - Leaves injured in loss Digne was forced off the pitch in the 14th minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Wolves.

Impact Digne was back in the starting XI after missing the previous match with an injury. But the left back lasted only 14 minutes on the pitch before having to be subbed off due to what looked to be a different issue. With Digne's status for next Saturday's home match against Tottenham being uncertain, Ashley Young will probably be his replacement if he needs to miss any additional time.

Ashley Young - Scores own goal in loss Young created two chances, sent in four inaccurate crosses, made two tackles (one won), was shown a yellow card and scored an own goal after coming off the bench during Saturday's...

Impact Young was brought in the 14th minute, replacing injured Lucas Digne when his side was already down by one goal. And the veteran made things even worse for his side in the 36th minute, accidentally sending the ball into his own net when trying to clear a cross from the left flank. With Digne questionable for next Saturday's home match against Tottenham, Young will probably have an opportunity to redeem himself.

Emilano Martinez - Concedes two in loss Martinez made three saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Wolves.

Impact Martinez couldn't do much to stop Jonny's powerful close-range volley in the 6th minute and then saw Ashley Young sending the ball into his own net to double the opposition's lead still in the first half. With five goals allowed over his last three starts, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home match against Tottenham and their goalscoring machine Harry Kane.
