Aston Villa injury update ahead of Sunderland clash

Aston Villa are set to face Sunderland in their Premier League clash on Sunday without four players.

Boubacar Kamara, who returned to fitness midweek and made an appearance off the bench against Brentford, is expected to start against Sunderland.

However, fellow midfielders Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, and Ross Barkley will all remain on the sidelines.

Andres Garcia is also still out of action, but Victor Lindelöf could make a comeback, having resumed training at Bodymoor Heath today.

"Andres is still out, Onana is still out, Barkley is still out, and Tielemans is still out," Emery confirmed. "Victor is training today, and he could be available."

Villa are heading to Sunderland in hopes of securing their first Premier League win-and their first goal-of the season.

Their previous matches have seen successive defeats to Brentford and Crystal Palace, interspersed with goalless draws against Newcastle United and Everton.

Sunderland, meanwhile, have had a strong start to their home games this season, winning both and managing a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace last weekend.
