Amadou Onana Ruled Out of Tottenham Trip With Calf Injury

Unai Emery scheduled a scan to gauge the extent of the calf problem.

Overview

  • Emery confirmed Friday that Onana will miss Sunday’s match at Tottenham and will undergo a scan on his calf.
  • The midfielder limped off in the 55th minute during Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League semi-final first leg defeat at Nottingham Forest.
  • Emery said Onana reported pain in his calf during the first half and stressed the club will be careful with his recovery.
  • Aston Villa’s midfield options are stretched with Boubacar Kamara already out for the season and Onana managing recurring muscle issues this year.
  • Villa trail 1-0 on aggregate with the second leg at Villa Park next week, while they sit fifth in the league and are pushing to secure Champions League qualification.
