Named to bench
Hemmings (knee) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Viking.
Analysis: Hemmings has made his return to the team sheet Wednesday, shaking off a knee injury to make the bench. The forward was seeing some good time to begin the season before his injury, recording four starts in five league appearances, although he has yet to earn a goal contribution. He will hope the injury didn't drop him in the depth chart at all, potentially eyeing some starting time when they resume Premier League action.
Could return for Viking fixture
Hemmings (knee) was spotted training with Aston Villa at Bodymoor Heath on Tuesday, raising hopes that he could return to the squad for Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Viking, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.
Analysis: Hemmings is closing in on a return to competitive action after recovering from a minor knee injury sustained during international duty. The midfielder missed Aston Villa's recent encounters against Brentford, Fenerbahce and Newcastle United, despite manager Unai Emery previously suggesting he was approaching full fitness. His participation in Tuesday's training session at Bodymoor Heath represents another positive step in his recovery and puts him in contention for Wednesday's European fixture against Viking. However, his availability has yet to be confirmed and even if Hemmings receives clearance to feature, he could initially be limited to a substitute role given his recent absence, particularly with Johan Manzambi providing additional competition for playing time in midfield.
