Pau Torres - 90 minutes in loss Torres played 90 minutes and created two chances during Thursday's 2-0 loss to Olympiacos.
Impact Torres went the full 90 for the sixth match in a row in all competitions, but couldn't do enough to keep Villa in the Conference League. Torres has been the preferred option in central defense when fit and should play a major role in the closing stages of the Premier League.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Not yet ready for play Zaniolo (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Olympiacos.
Impact Zaniolo remains sidelined for yet another match, as despite his return in the reverse fixture a week ago, he is being left out for a second straight game due to "small pain."

Impact Luiz had another rough day in the middle of the park, not being able to generate anything in the middle of the park while also being far from relevant on the defensive end from a fantasy standpoint.

Impact Rogers appears to be in question to return for the rest of the season after picking up a hamstring issue following his early exit in the 26th minute against Brighton on Sunday. Not much more is known about the problem at the moment, but he is most likely set to miss the club's next match against Liverpool, leaving him in question for the season finale against Crystal Palace on May 19. He will now hope for the best and return this season, although that will depend on his training, with further updates likely to come out over the next two weeks.

Impact Tielemans only lasted 27 minutes against Chelsea last weekend and couldn't feature against Olympiacos on Thursday, so his chances of playing against Brighton aren't exactly encouraging. Tielemans has emerged as a regular presence in midfield over the last few months for the Midlands club, and if he can't go Sunday, then Tim Iroegbunam could operate as his replacement in a midfield that's struggling with depth and injuries in the final stretch of the campaign.

Impact That mention of "players who are coming with a small injury" points directly to Martinez, who missed Thursday's game against Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinals due to an undisclosed injury. Martinez has started in all but two of Aston Villa's matches during the current Premier League campaign, and if he can't go Sunday, then Robin Olsen will get the start between the posts.
