Matty Cash - Unused Wednesday Cash was an unused substitute during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich.
Impact Before Wednesday's clash, Cash was reportedly unavailable, so while it's encouraging he was on the bench that likely has more to do with Champions League squad sizes than anything else. He remains a doubt for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, and likely won't be fit enough to start.

Amadou Onana - Optimistic for Sunday Onana (undisclosed) is a doubt, but trending towards playing during Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Unai Emery. "He's not a really serious injury, but p...
Impact Onana came off during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Munich with a knock. It seems fatigue is setting in heavily for the Villa squad, meaning the international break could be crucial for the squads recovery. Barring a late setback it seems Onana will be available for Sunday's clash.

Leon Bailey - Uncertain Sunday Bailey is in doubt for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Unai Emery. "I don't know if they are going to be available for Sunday. Tomorrow we will train. B...
Impact Bailey is struggling with a knock he picked up after coming on for the also-injured Jacob Ramsey last time out in the Champions League. If both are ruled out it would leave Villa down significantly on the wings. Bailey will hope to return and earn more playing time after a string of poor performances have seemingly dropped him out of the starting XI.

Jacob Ramsey - Doubtful Sunday Ramsey (strain) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Unai Emery."I don't know if they are going to be available for Sunday. Tomorrow we will t...
Impact Ramsey came off during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich, and is dealing with a muscular issue. At the very least he's a doubt for Sunday's clash, which would leave Villa down significantly, as Leon Bailey (knock) is also in doubt. Jade Philogene would likely come into the starting XI if both are ruled out.

Emiliano Martinez - Absolutely brilliant Martinez made seven saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich.
Impact Martinez stopped all seven shots he faced during Wednesday's clash, showing why he remains one of the absolute best in the world. The goalkeeper was simply unbeatable during the win, and put together a huge performance. Martinez will need to be at his best once more against Manchester United before the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ollie Watkins - Held quiet Watkins generated one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Bayern Munich.
Impact Watkins shot just once during Wednesday's win and failed to do much throughout the match. Jhon Duran came on to replace him and found the back of the net for the winning goal. Still there's little chance Watkins loses the starting job on merit, even if he falls out of form. Watkins will have another two weeks to recover from a busy schedule during the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Pau Torres - Assists in win Torres assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against Bayern Munich.
Impact Torres provided an assist, and had a goal ruled out after a VAR check, in a busy showing Wednesday. The defender made the most of his chances on the ball, and set up Jhon Duran for the winning goal. Torres could see his minutes reduced as Tyrone Mings (knee) returns to fitness, though it's likely he will see plenty of rotation across four competitions.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jhon Duran - Nets in win Duran scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Impact Duran's heroics off the bench continued as he came on for Ollie Watkins and found the back of the net just minutes later. The striker continues to be incredibly efficient in a minimal role, with impressive production off the bench. He has no path to major playing time unless something happens to Watkins.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Amadou Onana - Brought off Wednesday Onana was brought off with an apparent injury during the second half of Wednesday's clash with Bayern.
Impact Onana picked up the injury in the second half and was unable to carry on. Ross Barkley came on to replace him, and could be in line for the start during Sunday's clash with Manchester United. Onana has been a consistent starter in midfield since joining Villa and would be a large loss if he was forced out before the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Ramsey - Injured early Ramsey was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Wednesday's clash with Munich.
Impact Ramsey made it just 27 minutes before an injury forced him off and brought on Leon Bailey. Ramsey has started four matches in a row and would be a loss if the injury proves to be serious. That said the international break is up next after a Sunday clash with Manchester United, giving Ramsey a bit more time to recover.

Amadou Onana - Stout defensively Onana recorded six tackles (four won), three clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Ipswich Town.
Impact Onana saw no contribution in the attack but stood strong on the defensive side of the ball despite his team allowing two goals, notching two interceptions, three clearances and six tackles in the draw. The midfielder earned goal contributions in two of the club's first three matches of the season but has yet to earn one since and will look to change that soon, as he has yet to miss a start this campaign.
OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Leon Bailey - Earns assist Bailey assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Ipswich Town.
Impact Bailey was back in the starting XI Sunday after only earning a bench role in the club's past two matches following a return from injury. He played 64 minutes, earning an assist in the 32nd minute after finding Ollie Watkins. This was his first goal contribution of the season and he should see plenty of chances to earn more, as the attacker should continue in the starting XI after earning the start in the first three matches of the season before his injury.
OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Morgan Rogers - First goal of season Rogers scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town.
Impact Rogers earned his first goal of the season Sunday, equalizing the game in the 15th minute after quickly going down 1-0. This marks his third goal contribution of the season, all of which have come in his last two appearances. He has yet to miss a start this season and appears to be a mainstay in the starting XI this season, giving him a solid chance of a goal contribution any day, especially in a team with a well-formed attack.
OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ollie Watkins - Scores again Watkins scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town.
Impact Watkins made it two straight matches with a goal Sunday, finding the back of the net in the 32nd minute. This marks his fourth goal of the season, now having six goal contributions on the season. He has registered a goal contribution in five straight appearances and appears to be catching form after starting the season slow.
OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Emiliano Martinez - Allows two against Ipswich Martinez recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Ipswich Town.
Impact Martinez fended off three of the five shots he faced on target but allowed two to find the back of the net in the draw. He is still without fir first clean sheet in league play this season through six appearances. He will hope to find his first when facing Manchester United on Sunday, having a midweek match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday in UCL play before.
