Diego Carlos has been sidelined from Aston Villa’s lineup since sustaining a hamstring injury during a training session.
Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has received a positive development in the lead-up to their crucial Premier League encounter against Tottenham this weekend.
Defender Diego Carlos, absent from play since the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on February 11 due to a hamstring injury sustained in training last month, has marked his return to training at Bodymoor Heath after a month-long absence.
This is a significant boost for Villa, who also welcomed Ezri Konsa back to training following his recent return against Luton Town, alleviating the defensive challenges that Emery had been managing.
Before their league game this weekend, Unai Emery’s team is set to face Ajax in the Europa Conference League round of sixteen. In contrast, Tottenham, not involved in European competitions, enjoys a week of training before traveling to the midlands.
The Lilywhites secured a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace, narrowing the point gap to two between them and Villa, but Villa’s subsequent win restored a five-point lead at the top.
As Spurs strive to reclaim a spot in Europe’s prestigious competition next season, their pursuit aligns with Villa’s impressive performance this term. The upcoming match between the two teams holds the potential to define their respective seasons.
Tottenham is optimistic about the return of Pedro Porro and striker Richarlison, absent from the recent win against Palace due to injuries, adding to the anticipation of a competitive encounter this weekend.
