Aston Villa manager Unai Emery says he will make a late call on whether Ollie Watkins will play against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Ollie Watkins remains a doubt for Aston Villa’s trip to Nottingham Forest The England international started the 3-2 win at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday but was forced off at half-time. Emery confirmed after the match that the forward had suffered a ‘small injury’ which put his involvement this weekend in doubt. Watkins remains a doubt just a day before the match, with Emery saying the final training session on Friday will provide him the answer.
Ollie Watkins could still be involved on Saturday Emery says his star forward’s season has been somewhat disrupted by his involved at Euro 2024 with England over the summer which meant he wasn’t in the best shape to start the campaign. ‘Ollie started the season with different circumstances,’ he said. ‘Usually he was doing pre-season in the years before but started going with the national team because he was improving and taking steps forward in his career.
