EPL: Aston Villa’s team update vs Chelsea

Aston Villa will on Sunday host Chelsea at Villa Park for their EPL clash.

Ahead of the game, Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has dropped an update on his team as he listed the players to be available for the match.

Gerrard in a pre-match statement said, “Leon Bailey trained yesterday, so he’ll be available for the squad. We need to have more conversations with the medical department to see if he’s available from the beginning or his game time. He has been back since yesterday.

“Cameron Archer’s still got a niggle in the background and at some point we’ll have to address that in the future. He’s trained again this week, so he’s available.

“Matty Cash didn’t train yesterday but that was just us managing him. He’ll be available.

“Boubacar Kamara’s progressing well. Diego Carlos is progressing well. Lucas Digne, we’re hoping to have him back before the end of the month without putting a game on that.

“We’re hoping if we progress Lucas in a safe way, we could have him available at the end of the month.”
