Friday evening at Bodymoor Heath and Aston Villa's medical team faces its most demanding assessment of the season — determining fitness across the squad for a nine-day double-header that covers two competitions. Emiliano Martinez: the goalkeeper's Argentina involvement in South American internationals means he arrives back with more travel miles and competitive intensity than most returning players. His condition will be assessed carefully. Emery will not start Martinez on Sunday if there is any concern — the consequences of a goalkeeper injury heading into the Bologna leg would be significant. Ollie Watkins: expected to be fully available. No injury concerns reported from England duty. Pau Torres: standard recovery from Spain international duty. Expected to be available. Leon Bailey: available. Expected to feature either from the start or from the bench. Jhon Duran: available. His importance as a second-half weapon makes his fitness management simpler — he needs 25-30 sharp minutes, not 90. Morgan Rogers: available. No concerns from international youth involvement. Youri Tielemans: available. No international concerns. Villa's squad looks largely healthy. The primary management question is not injury but rotation — deciding who rests for Forest to stay fresh for Bologna. 📅 Sun 12 Apr (Forest) | Thu 17 Apr (Bologna) 🏆 GW30 + EL QF | Villa Injury Check
