Aston Villa early injury news for Basel clash as 2 players out with one doubt for Europa League trip

All the latest injury news as Aston Villa prepare to visit Basel in a Europa League clash in Switzerland
In-form Aston Villa are back in action on Thursday night and will hope to extend their winning streak when they visit Europa League strugglers Basel in Switzerland.

Unai Emery’s side have won seven matches in a row in all competitions and 13 out of their last 15, a run which dates all the way back to their first Europa League match at home to Bologna in late September. Since that day, the Villans have been unstoppable and have even been touted to mount a shock title push if they can keep up the streak.

In Europe, Villa have won four matches from five and are third in the competition’s league phase table with 12 points, behind only Lyon and Midtjylland on goal difference. Basel, meanwhile, are down in 24th out of 36 teams with six points from their five matches, currently hanging onto the final play-off spot by the skin of their teeth.

Villa’s latest injury updates for the clash are as follows, as the Villans hope to get as many players back as possible for the trip to Switzerland.
