Aston Villa remain without Philippe Coutinho, Boubacar Kamara and Leander Dendoncker for Saturday’s encounter against AFC Bournemouth.

Attacking midfielder Coutinho has missed the club’s last three matches due to injury and will not be fit in time to face the Cherries at Villa Park.

Boubacar Kamara also remains sidelined having hobbled out of the 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Fellow midfielder Leander Dendoncker will also miss the encounter as he continues his recovery from a hand injury, with goalkeeper Jed Steer a long-term absentee.

It leaves head coach Unai Emery with an unchanged squad from last weekend’s 1-1 draw at West Ham United, where fit-again Diego Carlos returned to the matchday squad.
