Unai Emery boasts a near fully-fit squad for Aston Villa’s encounter against Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park.
Matty Cash, having been ruled out since mid-March, remained unavailable for last weekend’s defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers but returns to contention to face Spurs on Saturday.
Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Philippe Coutinho and Leon Bailey all returned to Villa's matchday 20 at Molineux and are again available for selection.
That leaves long-term absentee Jed Steer as the only member of Emery’s squad currently sidelined, with the goalkeeper continuing his recovery programme.
“It’s the first time in the last month we have everybody ready to be in the squad for Saturday,” said head coach Emery at his pre-match press conference.
“Only Jed Steer is out, but Cash, Kamara, Bailey, Coutinho – in the last match they were in the squad but not ready 100% to play.
“Some players are still not ready to play 90 minutes, but they’re ready to be in the squad and ready to play.”
