Emi Martinez (£5.0m) will miss Aston Villa’s season opener due to a one-match ban hanging over from last season’s final day.
On the injury front, Morgan Rogers (£7.0m, ankle) is fit after returning to training this week.
Ross Barkley (£5.0m) and Andres Garcia (£4.0m) haven’t been seen since mid-July with supposedly minor issues and remain out.
