Matty Cash - Left off team sheet Cash is out for Monday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Cash has been completely left out Monday despite no prior report of an injury. This comes as a bit of a surprise for the defender, as he did start in two of his last three appearances on the team sheet, playing a decent role in the team. We will now have to wait for the manager's comments on what type of injury he is dealing with or if he will be available for the final match of the season on Sunday.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Earns bench role Zaniolo (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Zaniolo is finally fit again after three matches on the sidelines, as he has fully recovered from his undisclosed issues to earn a spot on the bench. He will likely remain on the bench moving into their final game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Youri Tielemans - Gets start Monday Tielemans (groin) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Tielemans will only miss one match due to his groin issues, as he lines up in the starting XI Monday. He should continue in the starting role for the club's final contest of the season, as he has only missed one start in his past 11 appearances on the team sheet.

Alex Moreno - Not an option against Liverpool Moreno (undisclosed) is out for Monday's match against Liverpool.

Alex Moreno - Could return Moreno (undisclosed) could return for Monday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Unai Emery. "[Alex] Moreno has a small injury and he needs some days, maybe he could be av...

Impact Moreno has fallen to the bench even when fit in recent weeks, though it seems he's had a couple nagging injuries through that time. The defender could return for Monday's clash with Liverpool, but even if he does it would likely only be in a minor role off the bench.

Emiliano Martinez - Returns in Conference League Martinez (hamstring) returned during Thursday's 2-0 loss to Olympiacos in the Conference League.

Impact Martinez got back on the pitch for the crucial Conference League clash but he could do little to stem the tide of Olympiacos goals. Still Robin Olsen showed he isn't any sort of real competition for Martinez, giving him a firm hold on the starting job once more.

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." This is most likely a cautionary move before their tough matchup against Liverpool on Monday. That being said, he will look for a return in four days, hoping to be fit to face the Reds and end the season healthy and with the team.

Robin Olsen - Saves PK in loss Olsen made seven saves, including a penalty and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Brighton.

Impact Olsen made another start, replacing Emiliano Martinez (hamstring), and did a little bit of everything in the net, which included stopping a penalty shot during the closing stages of the match. but then couldn't prevent Joao Pedro from scoring off the rebound to give the opposition all three points in play. Martinez should be back for the next match as his team tries to adjust to his return during the final stretch of the campaign.

Diego Carlos - Puts up solid numbers in loss Carlos made two tackles (both won), five clearances and two blocks during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Brighton.

Douglas Luiz - Quiet performance in loss Luiz sent in three inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (both won), two interceptions and one block during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Brighton.

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. That's now back-to-back matches with subpar numbers for Luiz, who will try to bounce back during the final two clashes of the year.

Emiliano Buendia - Pictured training Buendia (knee) was pictured in training Tuesday, ahead of a clash with Olympiacos.

Morgan Rogers - Set for time on sidelines Rogers appears to be set for some time out after going down with a hamstring issue, according to manager Unai Emery, per John Townley of Birmingham Live. "Now the most important th...

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 Zaniolo made a return in the Europa League Thursday after coming off the bench for five minutes to face Olympiacos after dealing with an undisclosed issue but was forced to bow out a couple of days later after feeling some pain, likely from the same injury he was dealing with before. He will now hope to make a quick recovery and return to face Liverpool on May 13, as he is currently in question for that contest.
