Tyrone Mings added his name to an increasing list of injuries at the weekend after retiring in the first half of Meeting with West Ham United. Pau Torres is also on the sidelines in the center-back, while the January outlet of Diego Carlos means that Ezri Konsa is the only superior choice in the role. Lucas Digne is likely to complete on Wednesday.
Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley are both missing in the middle section by injury, but Villa saw John McGinn returning to the crease on Sunday. The midfielder is unlikely to start in the middle week, but he will probably appear in some way against a club he faced at 16 times during his time in Scotland.
January recruits Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia are not eligible to appear until the knockout phase.
Aston Villa predicted the series against Celtic (4-2-3-1): Martinez? Cash, Konsa, Digne, measures. Tielemans, Kamara. Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey. Watkins.
Celtic has seen the star forward Kyogo Furuhashi to complete his move to the French side Rennes, completing Bhoys’ career with 86 goals in 167 matches. Jota has gone in the other direction after her short spell in France, returning to Glasgow after leaving the wreaths in 2023. The Portuguese are not eligible to appear on Wednesday.
James Forrest is still missing from foot injury, and Daizen Maeda is suspended for traveling to Villa Park after his late red card in 1-0 win over young boys last week.
Celtic predicted the composition against Aston Villa (4-3-3): Schmeichel? Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor. Engels, McGregor, Hatate. Kuhn, Idah, Palma.
The villa has fallen flat in their unconditional defeat in Monaco last week, but should be rejuvenated by a crowd at home and the prospect of avoiding play-offs with automatic qualifications for the last 16.
Defense injuries can cause a little mess in the villa backline and Celtic will be willing to benefit, although it is without the recently departed Furuhashi and inhibit Maeda.
Villa is far from their best during the weekend tie with West Ham, but should have returned to winning ways on Wednesday, even if it is not completely convincing.
