Aston Villa vs. Fenerbahce team news: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alejandro Garnacho decisions made by Unai Emery for Champions League game

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has selected Aaron Wan-Bissaka at left-back for Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Fenerbahce.

With Matteo Ruggeri having been ruled out for at least a month with a hamstring injury, the Spaniard was left with a decision to make in defence.

As expected, Wan-Bissaka will deputise on the left, with Matty Cash retaining his place on the right, as Emery makes four changes to the team that started the 2-2 draw with Brentford last weekend.

There is a further alteration at the back, with Pau Torres being recalled to take the spot of Tyrone Mings.

In centre midfield, Ross Barkley returns in place of Joao Gomes, while Ibrahim Mbaye gets the nod over Emiliano Buendia in the final third.

However, Alejandro Garnacho, once again, is only named on the substitutes' bench as he continues to wait to add to three brief substitute appearances.
