Team news for Clarets clash

Emi Martínez will be assessed ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League meeting with Burnley.

The goalkeeper was forced out of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League triumph over Feyenoord late on in the pre-match warm-up nursing a calf injury, with Marco Bizot stepping in for the 2-0 victory.

Martínez went for a scan on Friday and Emery is awaiting the results before deciding whether he will face the Clarets.

Speaking at Friday afternoon’s pre-match media conference, manager Unai Emery said: “He’s just had a scan an hour before the press conference and I don’t know exactly now if he’s going to be available or not.

“I don’t know the scan result.

“But we are planning always to have players, two, three or four positions, and confidence to play with every player when they are available and when they are not.

“The players have to play with the same idea and the same way we are building the team.

“And Marco Bizot did it yesterday, a fantastic job, following the gameplan, our idea and our demands on the field.

“Tomorrow we’ll know if Emi Martinez will be available.”

Tyrone Mings, Jadon Sancho, Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley and Andrés García all missed the club’s 2-0 victory in the Netherlands.
