Aston Villa team news

Aston Villa are coping with a series of injury worries in their starting XI. The claret and blue will be hosting Chelsea without their two natural left-backs. Lucas Digne has been out with a heel injury while Ludwig Augustinsson has been nursing a hamstring injury.

Also missing from the starting lineup is Boubacar Kamara (knee) and Diego Carlos (Achilles) who will be out as they are in the early stage of recovering from their various injuries. Featuring Leon Bailey into the squad ahead of Sunday’s clash is a huge probability as he had picked a knock in their previous match.

Reece James picked up a knee injury in their midweek encounter at San Siro as limped off the pitch. The injury did not look severe but his appearance in the squad on Sunday remains a doubt.

Wesley Fofana is also out on injury and could make a return before the World Cup, he will not be available for the Sunday fixture at Villa Park. Hakim Ziyech is expected to make a return to the squad after missing the Champions League fixture against AC Milan due to a sore throat.

N’Golo Kante who has been out with a thigh injury suffered a huge blow in recovery as he suffered another injury during recuperating training.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

ย Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangersโ€™ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park โ€” and he didnโ€™t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end โ€” a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done โ€” pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesnโ€™t happen every day, and itโ€™s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtisโ€™ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry โ€” showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celticโ€™s Japanese Duo

Published

โ€œAre Celticโ€™s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatateโ€

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the teamโ€™s key Japanese players โ€” Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walkerโ€™s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they donโ€™t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walkerโ€™s view stems from both menโ€™s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston โ€” and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda โ€” who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season โ€” has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walkerโ€™s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maedaโ€™s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away โ€” only for Celtic to block it โ€” and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaignโ€™s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

ย The Bigger Picture

Celticโ€™s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walkerโ€™s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward โ€” and whoโ€™s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: โ€œEigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zachtโ€, aldus de Nederlander. โ€œIk kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.โ€

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

โ€œHet was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaagโ€, luidde het bij MVDP. โ€œJe weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.โ€

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: โ€œDit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.โ€ Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
