Aston Villa injury, suspension news and return dates for Fulham clash: Ruggeri, Wan Bissaka, Onana latest

Aston Villa return to Premier League action on Saturday evening when they welcome Fulham to Villa Park.

Unai Emery’s men are bidding to win their third top-flight game in a row, but they enter this fixture on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

A rotated team was selected on the South Coast and Emery is expected to revert to a strong side this weekend, though he is still dealing with a few injury absentees.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Aston Villa’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Alvaro Arbeloa’s side.
