Aston Villa injury list and return dates ahead of Zrinjski and Brentford

Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Unai Emery's side prepare for Zrinjski Mostar clash

Aston Villa travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina later this week ahead of their final Europa Conference League group stage clash against Zrijski Mostar.

Unai Emery's side beat Arsenal 1-0 last time out just three days after also claiming a 1-0 victory over Man City. The win over Arsenal on Saturday set a new club record of 15 consecutive home league wins as John McGinn scored the only goal of the game inside the first seven minutes of the match.

Leon Bailey appeared to pick up a knock in the first half against Arsenal and was replaced by Moussa Diaby at half-time. The winger could be an injury doubt for Zrinjski, but Emery will update the media on his fitness on Wednesday.
