Ollie Watkins is a doubt for Aston Villa’s clash with Nottingham Forest due to a thigh injury.
The England forward was substituted at half-time during Villa’s Champions League win over RB Leipzig with what boss Unai Emery described as a ‘small injury’.
Though Watkins has not found the same rhythm as last season, Emery still sees him as his first-choice No9, despite the contributions of Jhon Duran, who has 10 goals in all competitions despite starting only four times.
Watkins was due to be assessed on Wednesday and Emery will be hoping he can recover quickly.
