Unai Emery has shared an update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday. And the Villa manager has also suggested that Axel Disasi could make his debut for the club following his deadline day loan move from Chelsea.

Aston Villa will have Ollie Watkins available for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Ipswich. England striker Watkins missed Villa’s 2-1 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend due to the injury he sustained against Wolves last time out in the Premier League.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has spoken in his latest press conference as he prepares to take on Ipswich Town this weekend.

However, it sounds as though the Watkins trail has gone cold, and according to John Townley, speaking on the Claret and Blue Podcast, the Aston Villa star won’t be going anywhere on deadline day. Townley shared what he knows about Watkins amid murmurs that he could still be on the move.

Aston Villa will be without five first-team players for Sunday's visit of Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round, including star striker Ollie Watkins. The striker was forced off during the loss at Wolves last weekend with a groin injury, and replaced by January signing Donyell Malen.

Mings sustained a knee injury in Villa’s draw with West Ham in January while Watkins suffered a groin issue against Wolves two weeks ago.

Aston Villa will welcome back Ollie Watkins for their Premier League clash with Ipswich on Saturday. Unai Emery’s side responded well to their defeat to Wolves last time out in the League, as Villa beat Tottenham 2-1 to knock Spurs out of the FA Cup.
