Morgan Sanson - Back in squad Saturday Sanson (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Sanson returned to training this week and is apparently healthy enough to make the bench Saturday. He still doesn't have much of a role in the team, but he'll hope to find some minutes off the bench over the next month to get back some match fitness.

Bertrand Traore - Sidelined Saturday Traore suffered a thigh injury while on international duty with Burkina Faso and will not be an option versus Wolverhampton on Saturday, Alex Dicken of Birmingham Live reports.
Impact Considering Traore has yet to feature in the starting XI, and has just 53 combined minutes off the bench, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. He's battled numerous injuries this season, so he'll need to string together a few squads before being considered for the XI again.

Douglas Luiz - Will be option Saturday Luiz will be an option for Saturday's match against Wolves despite playing 19 minutes off the bench Thursday for Brazil, according to manager Dean Smith.
Impact It's a wonder if Smith will push Luiz into the XI Saturday despite it coming less than 48 hours from Thursday's match. It's a hard thing to count on, but he's been the team's main set-piece taker lately, so it's worth noting. If he doesn't start, Marvelous Nakamba could come into the XI.
OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emilano Martinez - Available against Wolves Martinez is available for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton despite starting for Argentina on Thursday, according to manager Dean Smith.
Impact This was the plan all along for Villa and it looks like Martinez will get the start Saturday despite playing less than 48 hours prior with Argentina. This may partly be because Villa don't have a great backup goalkeeper, but a goalkeeper doesn't have to deal with the same fitness issues as a field player.
OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Leon Bailey - Not ready for Saturday Bailey (quad) has yet to return to full training and will miss Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Dean Smith. "Unfortunately, Leon hasn't ticked all the boxes fo...
Impact It's unfortunate for Bailey, who has been out since suffering the injury Sept. 18. He'll be out for more than a month with the injury and at this point, it's not guaranteed he'll be ready to return next week for the trip to Arsenal.

SKorea star Hwang starring in EPL after hard time in Germany

Emiliano Buendia - Playing off bench Buendia has played 33 minutes off the bench in the last two matches since recovering from a quad injury.
Impact Buendia is thought to be healthy, but after a couple iffy starts to the season, it looks like he'll have to win his way back into the XI. At this point, Jacob Ramsey seems to have the leg up in the midfield, but that could change in any match. In three starts Buendia has two shots, five chances created and seven corners.

Matt Targett - Logs assist and own goal Targett recorded one assist and one own goal during a 2-1 loss Sunday at Tottenham.
Impact Targett recorded his third league assist this year. However, he logged an own goal (and the Spurs' second Sunday) preventing a Son Heung-Min pass from getting to Lucas Moura. Targett's most recent stat line became blemished despite it being his best since July.
OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Douglas Luiz - Creates three chances Luiz created three chances during a 2-1 loss Sunday at Tottenham.
Impact Luiz has been Aston Villa's best midfielder since the team began utilizing three central defenders. He created 11 chances across four games when it used that tactic.
OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emilano Martinez - Concedes two goals, saves six shots Martinez conceded two goals but recorded six saves during a 2-1 loss Sunday at Tottenham.
Impact Martinez conceded multiple goals during a league game for the first time since August. However, he has averaged 3.7 saves after sitting out Aston Villa's Sept. 11 matchup at Chelsea.
OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ollie Watkins - Scores goal at Tottenham Watkins scored one goal during a 2-1 loss Sunday at Tottenham.
Impact Coincidentally, Watkins recorded his last two league goals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 25-year-old's most recent goal (and his first of the 2021-22 Premier League) is a promising indication that he could play consistently well alongside fellow striker Danny Ings.
