Makes bench Sunday Digne (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Digne has missed Villa's last four matches through injury, but had been the starting left-back prior to missing time. Alex Moreno has played well in Digne's absence and gets the nod in the starting XI Sunday.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Potential return Sunday Digne (hamstring) could be an option for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Unai Emery. "The players who had injuries are recovering, Lucas, Pau Torres."

Not ready to return Digne (hamstring) isn't an option for Tuesday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Unai Emery."Pau Torres is out, Digne is out and Jacob Ramsey is doubtful,"
