Unai Emery has share an update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday.

And the Villa manager has also suggeste that แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ Axel Disasi could make his debut for the club following his deadline day loan move from Chelsea.

After picking up just two points from their last three league games, the Villans are looking to get back on track when they host relegation-threatened Ipswich.

There were fears they’d have to do so without talisman Watkins after he was force off at half-time of the 2-0 defeat at Wolves and subsequently misse the FA Cup win over Tottenham last Sunday.

The England striker, who was linke with a transfer to Arsenal in January, has dealing with a muscle injury, one of many fitness issues Emery is having to deal with.

But in his pre-match press conference, the Spaniard confirme Watkins was ready to take on the Tractor Boys: ‘Still out for tomorrow are Matty Cash, Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa, Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley.

‘Those who have traine this morning with the group and are in the squad are Tyrone Mings and Ollie Watkins.’

Watkins has 11 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season, with his performances helping Villa qualify for the Champions League last-16, while the club are eighth in the Premier League.

His return is timely, with Emery’s side set to take on top of the table Liverpool and top four rivals Chelsea next week.

With Torres and Konsa out and Mings only just back in training after recovering from a knee injury, it seems highly likely that Disasi will make his Villa debut on Saturday.

The centre-back fell out of favour under Enzo Maresca but is hoping to restart his career at Villa Park, much like Marcus Rashford who could make his first Villa start since joining on loan from Manchester United.
