Plays off bench Buendia played the final 15 minutes of Thursday's 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Impact Buendia came off the bench after overcoming an ankle injury and played the final 15 minutes. The midfielder came on for Evann Guessand. Buendia has appeared in all but one match and started two matches prior to the injury. If Buendia can stay fit he seems to have earned himself a consistent role in the first team.

Impact Buendia is still not an option from his injury but at least seems to be recovering well, with the attacker only expected to be out a few more days and be fit soon. That said, the midfielder could return ahead of the international break, a good sign after starting in their past two games. Evann Guessand is likely to be added to the starting XI in his place until Buendia is fit again.

Expected to miss time Buendia (ankle) was spotted walking on crutches after Sunday's 1-0 victory against Manchester City and is expected to miss time, according to Raheil M from VillaFanTV.

Impact Buendia assisted the only goal in Sunday's victory against the Citizens before suffering a significant ankle injury that is expected to sideline him for some time. The forward was seen walking on crutches and will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the exact extent of the injury. While he is sidelined, Jadon Sancho or Donyell Malen could see increased playing time for the Villains.

Injured after assist Buendia would record one assist before he was forced off in the 29th minute of Sunday's match against Manchester City due to an apparent foot injury.

Impact Buendia would earn an assist on the opener early in the match but would leave the game just 10 minutes later, suffering an injury in the contest. This is a rough development for the midfielder after earning two consecutive starts, starting in six of his 11 appearances this season. He was replaced by Jadon Sancho, a possible replacement if he misses more time moving forward alongside Donyell Malen, Harvey Elliott and Evann Guessand.

Scores winner Sunday Buendia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Buendia scored the match-winning goal Sunday, a strike in the 77th minute assisted by Lucas Digne. It marked his third goal contribution of the season, all of which have come in his last three appearances. He finished the match with one shot and one tackle in his 29 minutes off the bench.

Impact Buendia was forced off in the club's last outing due to a head injury, but has recovered over the break, as the attacker has already trained and is cleared for action. This is solid news for the club, but he will likely see a bench spot if fit, as he served off the bench last outing and has only started in four of their eight matches, more of a rotational piece.

Forced off with head injury Buendia suffered a blow to his face in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Burnley and was forced off late in the game.

Impact Buendia suffered a head injury and was forced off late in the game as a precaution. Coach Unai Emery told the media that he was recovering, and given the fact he wasn't stretchered off, the attacking midfielder should have avoided a concussion. This is good news knowing that he is back with the Villains this season and performing well, as he has contributed three goals in the last three games across all competitions. That said, if he has to miss some time, Donyell Malen should be the one replacing him in the frontline.

Logs assist and goal off bench Buendia scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Fulham.

Impact After three consecutive starts in the Premier League, Buendia was demoted for the Villa-Fulham game. The demotion paid dividends for him though. Brought on at halftime to re-vitalize a Villa team without a win this season, he did just that, assisting John McGinn and scoring himself to give the side a second and third goal respectively. Buendia has added to both sides of the coin for his G/A, and the hope for him is that he can regularly do so despite a role uncertainty.

Impact Buendia returned from his loan spell with Leverkusen this summer and was reportedly on the move again. That said, the attacking midfielder remained at Aston Villa and featured in the last two Premier League games off the bench, contributing three shots, four tackles and four chances created.

Returning to Premier League Buendia is returning to Aston Villa after the end of his loan to Leverkusen.

Impact Buendia's loan to Leverkusen was generally poor. He made 11 appearances (three starts) and scored twice in just 253 minutes of action. At no point did the attacker establish a rhythm in the starting XI. He faces major competition for minutes with Villa as well, and could be moved on with Villa potentially considering him surplus to requirements.
