Aston Villa vs Everton injury latest as 8 players out and 6 doubts for Premier League clash

Aston Villa return to Premier League action against Everton on Saturday evening as they look to make it three wins from their opening four league games. The Toffees have yet to win this season, losing all three of their matches as they sit bottom of the table due to their inferior goal difference compared to also-pointless Southampton.

Villa’s only defeat came against Arsenal at Villa Park as the hosts were punished for their poor finishing in that fixture. They have won games at West Ham and Leicester City for an overall positive start to the 2024-25 season. It will be a busy return to action for Unai Emery’s side who travel to Switzerland to face Young Boys in their Champions League opener on Tuesday before returning to action against Midlands rivals Wolves on Saturday, September 21.

Everton and Villa had a number of injury concerns prior to the international break but those have only been added to for both sides as we run through the latest injury news from both camps ahead of the clash.

Aston Villa injury latest

Ezri Konsa - doubt

The defender was forced off against Finland while playing for England at Wembley on Tuesday night. Three Lions interim boss Lee Carsley played down any major concerns over Konsa, who played for just over an hour before his withdrawal.

Jaden Philogene - doubt

Didn’t feature against Leicester City before the international break. Was called up to the England Under-21s side but withdrew from duty and went back to Villa for treatment.

Leon Bailey - doubt

Did feature against the Foxes but picked up a hamstring complaint, with Emery unable to put a timescale on his return at the time. Missed international duty with Jamaica as a result.

Diego Carlos - doubt

The centre-back was another who missed the win over Leicester.

Tyrone Mings - out

Villa will hope Konsa and Carlos are available as Mings remains out. The England international is recovering from an ACL injury and while he is running again, he is not expected back imminently.

Matty Cash - out

The defender is out with a hamstring problem and is not due back until the end of month.

Ollie Watkins - doubt

The striker withdrew from international duty with England as he looked to recover from an ‘ongoing issue’.

Boubacar Kamara - out

Another of Villa’s players who is recovering from an ACL injury, Kamara is over the worst of his injury as he continues to train towards a return to action.

Everton injury latest

Jarrad Branthwaite - out

A key player for Everton but one who will miss the trip to Villa Park as he recovers from groin surgery.

Nathan Patterson - out

The former Rangers player is out with a hamstring problem that has kept him sidelined since April.

Seamus Coleman - doubt

The Everton veteran was forced off during Ireland’s 2-0 loss to England over the weekend after a collision with Harry Maguire. Missed the nation’s loss to Greece on Tuesday as he was sent back to Goodison Park for recovery.

Youssef Chermiti - out

On the recovery trail after undergoing surgery on a foot problem.

Stanley Mills - out

Spent last season on loan at Oxford United but picked up a knee injury which he is still recovering from. Unlikely to come straight back into the senior squad.

Armando Broja - out

Joined Everton late on deadline day after a move to Ipswich Town collapsed earlier in the window - however, he arrived with a foot problem that will keep him out until October.
