Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has the opportunity to fix his jaded defence ahead of the Premier League clash with Fulham, as Pau Torres prepares to re-enter the starting XI.
Aston Villa will be hoping to put the horrors of last week behind them, as Unai Emery prepares his side for battle with Fulham on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
For the first time in a while, the Villans will be eager to get away from Villa Park, after losing three consecutive games at home, two of which came last week through crashing out of the FA Cup and then losing to Manchester United.
On top of the dip in form, the Midlands club were dealt more bad news with Boubacar Kamara suffering a season-ending ACL injury to force the manager to test the adaptability of his squad.
Luckily, there is some positive news for the boss with Pau Torres set to be in contention to start against Fulham this weekend after recovering from injury.
Aston Villa will be strengthened by the return of Pau Torres
The Spaniard is yet to feature in 2024 for the Villans after suffering an ankle injury which has seen him away from the action for eight weeks.
Despite returning to training last week, the 27-year-old has been an unused substitute for the previous two games, both of which ended in defeat for his side.
