Team news for Fulham fixture

Emi Martínez will be assessed ahead of Aston Villa’s encounter against Fulham on Tuesday night.

The Argentina international goalkeeper was substituted at half-time in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Brentford having struggled with a stomach virus.

Martínez will be checked over ahead of the midweek visit of Fulham to see if he is ready to start the Premier League clash, with head coach Emery hopeful he is available.

But Villa remain without injured quartet Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara, Philippe Coutinho and Leon Bailey.

“Hopefully, Emiliano is ready for tomorrow,” said Emery at Monday’s pre-match media conference.

“We are going to know tomorrow morning when we meet to prepare for the match.

“The other players are not players to add for tomorrow, those who are now injured are progressing well but are not ready for tomorrow yet.”
