Alex Moreno - Ruled out for Saturday Moreno (hamstring) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle United, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Moreno did not participate in the team's preseason tour as he continues to recover from his hamstring surgery. The defender still needs more time, therefore will not be featured Saturday against Newcastle. During his absence, Pau Torres looks to be the number one option to take his place at left back for the time being.

Emiliano Buendia - Suffers knee ligament injury Buendia suffered a "significant knee ligament injury" in training Wednesday and will receive further consultation by a specialist.

Impact This is a massive blow for Buendia and Villa just before the season, especially with European play on the table. Buendia played in all 38 league matches last season, getting more than 2,400 minutes of action, so his absence will be felt. As a somewhat positive, they added Youri Tielemans and Moussa Diaby in the summer, though the same depth won't be there without Buendia.

Impact The 24-year-old winger joins Villa from Bayer Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee and already joined the Midlands club to make his debut during the preseason tour in the United States. Diaby is coming off a successful campaign with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, racking up nine goals and providing eight assists in 33 appearances, and he should battle for a starting role at Villa Park.

Aaron Ramsey - Shines on loan Ramsey scored five times during 11 matches on loan with Middlesbrough before returning to Aston Villa.

Impact Ramsey spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign on loan with Middlesbrough where he stepped into his own, creating six goals in just 671 minutes on the pitch. Ramsey returns to Aston Villa with a chance to compete for senior team minutes in pre-season.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jaden Philogene-Bidace - Major minutes on loan Philogene-Bidace played 2,387 minutes on loan with Cardiff in the 2022-23 Championship before returning to Aston Villa.

Impact Philogene-Bidace had a very successful spell on loan in the Championship and now returns to the Premier League. At 21 this is an important crossroads for the winger, who will be hoping to earn a spot with the senior team during the 2023-24 pre-season.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marvelous Nakamba - Returns with promotion Nakamba returned to Aston Villa following the conclusion of his loan to Luton Town.

Impact Nakamba was a key part of The Hatters shock promotion to the Premier League, playing nearly every minute in the run-in of the campaign. The defensive midfielder now returns to Aston Villa, where he will hope to compete for a spot in the first team for the senior club.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Iroegbunam - Back with Villa Iroegbunam returned to Aston Villa, following the conclusion of his loan to QPR.

Impact Iroegbunam had a strong showing on loan, making 23 appearances and scoring a pair of goals, while earning significant first team minutes. The midfielder is likely to see another loan away from Villa in the 2023-24 campaign.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kortney Hause - Loan to forget Hause returned to Aston Villa after a dreadful loan to Watford, where he wasn't registered for the second half of the season.

Impact Hause suffered a knee injury and struggled to produce when on the pitch and wasn't registered for the second half of the season. It was entirely a season to forget for Hause, who is caught in no-mans land, with little chance of finding significant playing time in the Premier League.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keinan Davis - Busy on loan Davis made 34 appearances, scoring seven goals and assisting twice while on loan with Watford in 2022-23.

Impact Davis returns to Aston Villa after his most successful spell on loan yet, totaling nine goal contributions. It remains to be seen if the production was enough to earn him any senior team playing time, but the forward has continued to improve in repeated loan spells.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Chrisene - Suffers torn ligament on loan Chrisene returned to Aston Villa following the conclusion of his loan to Kilmarnock.

Impact Chrisene made just 16 appearances for Kilmarnock during the 2022-23 season, failing to take a major role, and largely playing at left-back. The midfielder suffered a torn knee ligament and will likely stay with Aston Villa to recover, before a potential loan out in January.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Louie Barry - Returns from loan Barry returned to Aston Villa from his loan to Salford, where he joined after opening the season with MK Dons.

Impact Barry had an incredibly busy 2022-23, totaling 53 appearances in all competitions and scoring three times while adding four assists. The winger will face an uphill battle to break into the senior Villa side, and could be a candidate for another loan.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Archer - Returns from loan Archer is traveling with Aston Villa for the club's preseason American tour after returning from a six-month loan at Middlesbrough, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Archer had an amazing second half to last season as he tallied 11 goals and six assists in 22 Championship appearances (19 starts) for Middlesbrough before bagging another two goals and an assist mostly as an impact substitute while England won the u-21 Euros this summer. The 21-year-old forward is back with his parent club Aston Villa for preseason, and it's possible he remains with the senior team in 2023/24 rather than getting loaned out once again.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philippe Coutinho - Traveling with squad Coutinho (undisclosed) will join Villa for their United States preseason tour.

Impact Coutinho was shelved for the final 15 matches of the 2022-23 campaign due to his undisclosed injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. Even when fit, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and may have to settle for a super-sub role.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Ramsey - Left behind for tour Ramsey (thigh) was not included in the traveling squad for Villa's preseason United States tour.

Impact Ramsey was a mainstay in the starting XI last season, featuring in 31 of his 35 appearances for the club. In those contests, the midfielder recorded six goals on 33 shots (13 on target), seven assists and 18 crosses (four accurate). While he doesn't have a role on corners, Ramsey should generate high-end fantasy value given his ability to drive the attack from the midfield.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Moreno - Will miss preseason tour Moreno (hamstring) was not included in the traveling squad for Aston Villa's preseason tour.

Impact Moreno was facing a 2-3 month recovery timeline following his hamstring operation back in May. If the defender is closer to the three-month mark, he won't be ready to play in the season opener versus Newcastle United on Aug. 12. Whenever Moreno is given the green light, he should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

Morgan Sanson - Gains vital role for Le Racing Sanson scored once on 32 shots and tallied two assists on 18 chances created and 35 crosses along with 36 tackles in 18 appearances (all starts) for Strasbourg in season 2022/23.

Impact Sanson joined Strasbourg from Aston Villa in January and very quickly gained a vital role for the club producing great peripheral numbers on both sides of the ball and helping for a few goals even. The playmaker though will return to Villa where he was virtually a non-factor in the first part of the season with just two appearances off the bench and could be looking for new home this Summer again.
