Won't play in UEFA SuperCup

Watkins won't play in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup against PSG on Wednesday, according to manager Unai Emery.

Analysis: Watkins is one of three regulars who won't be playing Wednesday for the Midlands club, as Ezri Konsa and Emiliano Martinez will also miss the match due to "completely necessary rest." Watkins represented England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and has had only a few weeks to rest before the season starts. It seems the coaching staff wants to give the striker enough time to be healthy for the Premier League opener against Brighton on Sunday, Aug. 23.

Backup striker for England

Watkins has been named in England's World Cup squad after one of his most productive Premier League seasons, arriving as one of the most reliable goal-scorers in the squad with 21 goals in all competitions for a trophy-winning Aston Villa side.

Analysis: Watkins ended the campaign with 16 Premier League goals and three assists across 37 appearances, finishing as Villa's top scorer and playing a pivotal role in their Europa League title triumph as the most clinical finisher in their squad with 21 goals in all competitions. The Englishman brings intelligent movement, physical presence and a deadly finishing instinct from both feet that makes him one of the most dangerous strikers available to manager Thomas Tuchel, and his ability to hold the ball up and bring teammates into play gives England a different attacking profile to the more direct Harry Kane who is set to lead the line as the captain of the Three Lions. Watkins heads into the World Cup off the back of the best individual campaign of his career and desperate to make his mark on the global stage this summer.
