An update has emerged regarding the fitness of Aston Villa captain John McGinn ahead of their Premier League clash against Leicester City today…

The latest Leicester City news as we bring you the injury latest from the opposition camp ahead of the Premier League clash at Villa Park.

However, the Burkina Faso international is still recovering from a knee injury picked up in December. The third player who will be sidelined for Villa is returning loanee Bertrand Traore. Summer signing Diego Carlos is stepping up his rehabilitation from a ruptured Achilles tendon - the same injury suffered by City full-back Ricardo Pereira in pre-season. It’s a similar situation for reserve goalkeeper Jed Steer who suffered the injury during a loan spell with January side Luton Town. New club captain John McGinn has missed the last four games in all competitions with a thigh injury, but it has been confirmed that the midfielder could make his return against City. City also made it through to the fifth round of the FA Cup last weekend with a 1-0 win vs Walsall.

With 20 games now done and dusted in the current Premier League season, Leicester’s paltry tally of 18 points sees them occupy 14th place in the rankings – just one point better off than 18th-placed Bournemouth – and they travel to Villa Park having gone five games without a win in the top flight. Emery has overseen an eye-catching five wins from his seven Premier League matches in charge of Aston Villa, who have both scored and conceded in each of their last four top-flight games at Villa Park, and it would not be a complete shock to see that streak extended here. A short trip across the Midlands awaits Leicester City this afternoon, as the Foxes travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League.

We're live in B6 as Unai Emery looks to make it three wins on the bounce and to propel Aston Villa into the top half of the Premier League.

The ball comes off the underside of the crossbar and Ollie Watkins races ahead of Castagne to half-volley home. Douglas Luiz rolls the ball to Bailey to cross. Ramsey's at the far post but Kristiansen is ahead of him to put it behind. Kamara with the ball out to Leon Bailey who chops back inside and feeds Emi Buendia. It was a tap in at the far post, that one. Emi Martinez played it to Kamara right in front of him from a goal kick. Bailey cuts inside and powers towards the far post with his left foot. Iheanacho gobbled up the loose ball and feeds Tete who rounded Martinez for 2-3. That is the big challenge to improve.” It's football suicide at times from Villa who are playing needless passes out from the back. Villa will be relying on the results of Brentford and Liverpool to do that but, with 18 games remaining, Emery believes Villa can really push on having won five of the last seven league games. The returning [Bertrand Traore](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/aston-villa-fc) is expected back next week due to a knee injury while Diego Carlos remains sidelined.
