Aston Villa were without five players for their Premier League clash against Leicester City at the weekend.

Morgan Rogers and Jhon Duran were both serving suspensions, while Jaden Philogene and Diego Carlos both nursed small injuries. Pau Torres, meanwhile, is sidelined for two months after he broke a metatarsal in his right foot in the draw with Brighton last week.

Villa captain John McGinn was then brought off in the 19th minute against Leicester after tweaking his hamstring. Unai Emery's side play West Ham in the FA Cup on Frida night before facing back-to-back away league games against Everton and Arsenal next week.
