Aston Villa will be without midfielder Youri Tielemans for their crucial Premier League fixture against Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday, as he continues to recover from a calf injury.
The Belgian international is a key player for Unai Emery's side, who are currently in excellent form, winning their last four league matches.
Tielemans' absence is a blow to Villa's midfield depth as they aim to deepen Liverpool's domestic slump.
Manager Unai Emery is also dealing with the absence of Emiliano Buendía, meaning loan signings like Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho may now have an opportunity to impress.
