Wins penalty in first UCL start
Alysson generated three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus Viking FK.
Analysis: Alysson was handed a second straight start after his first one at Newcastle ended at half time, and he responded with a lively display in Villa's 3-1 Champions League win. The winger caused problems all night with his pace and dribbling, and he was involved in both of Villa's goals after the opener. The Brazilian won the penalty that Emiliano Buendia converted and then forced the opposition to put through his own net, while also creating three chances and taking three shots. Alysson's two starts have come amid some rotation and absences, but he has shown he can be trusted with a starting spot.
Assists off bench
Alysson assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 6-0 win against Fenerbahce.
Analysis: Alysson made the most of his 17 minutes off the bench in Villa's rout of Fenerbahce, creating two chances and setting up Tammy Abraham for the final goal. The winger had been limited to four minutes in his previous outing, and despite the bright cameo he looks to continue as an impact option from the bench for now.
Provides two assists in return
Alysson (undisclosed) came off the bench and provided two assists in Friday's comeback win over Sevilla for the Antonio Puerta Trophy.
Analysis: Alysson set up two goals after coming on in the second half against Sevilla, helping Villa turn the game around and claim the Antonio Puerta Trophy. It was a timely showing from the young Brazilian after he sat out the Tottenham game with a minor problem picked up against Coventry. With one goal so far this season, he looks likely to remain a useful weapon off the bench for the time being.
Absent with slight issue
Alysson (undisclosed) is absent from Aston Villa's squad for Saturday's clash against Tottenham due to feeling a slight issue during the Coventry match, with the winger expected to be fine for the next match against Brentford on Oct. 10 after the international break, according to Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic.
Analysis: Alysson had recently scored in the loss to Nottingham Forest, continuing what has looked like an improved start compared to a difficult debut season adjusting to English soccer, though he remains mainly a bench option. This absence is a minor setback to monitor, and his recovery timeline lines up with a return against the Bees once the international break concludes.
Scores in loss to Forest
Alysson scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Not known for his height or aerial ability, Alysson found himself at the end of a perfect cross from John McGinn to even things up for the Villains. Alysson seems to be improving compared to last season, where he struggled to adjust to life in England, but he won't have a lot of fantasy appeal as long as he remains a bench option.
Seeing time from bench
Alysson has appeared off the bench in all three league matches to begin the 2026/27 season.
Analysis: Alysson struggled with injuries much of last season but is already earning time this campaign, with the attacker already matching his appearance total from the 2025/26 season. That said, all three appearances have come from the bench, playing 42 minutes. He has yet to see much work in the attack in his short time on the field, so his value still remains low until a bigger role comes, likely to remain off most rosters unless a starting role is confirmed ahead of a match.
Returns to training
Alysson (groin) was viewed taking the field for training to begin pre-season training, according to his club.
Analysis: Alysson was pictured with his teammates as they began their pre-season training on Monday, with the Brazilian taking the field with his new teammate and fellow countryman, Joao Gomes. This is good news for the player as he appears to be fit heading into the new season, a good sign after he only played in three games all of last season due to injuries and limited minutes. He will look to see more time in the 20206/27 season, although he is still likely to be stuck in a rotational role at best either way.
Remains out Friday
Alysson (groin) will miss Friday's clash against Liverpool, according to coach Unai Emery. "Alysson is not available for tomorrow."
Analysis: Alysson has now been sidelined for two months with the groin issue, making his continued absence a frustrating development heading into the final stretch of the season. No return timeline has been provided, leaving his availability for the remaining fixtures uncertain as Aston Villa close out the campaign.
Status in question
Alysson's (groin) status is unknown for Sunday's match against Burnley, according to manager Unai Emery. "And the first is no excuses. If someone is getting tired or at risk to get injured, of course, we are going to avoid it, but then, try to recover as better as possible today. Tomorrow, we will rest, good food. Tomorrow, we will see how they are coming here, the players, the last training session."
Analysis: Alysson went down injured again this week and is now in question to make the team sheet Sunday, as the attacker's status is unknown after little was said on injuries. With the Brazilian expected to return this season, there is a slight chance he features, although it would be a quick turnaround. If he were to make a surprise appearance in the team sheet, a bench option would be likely.
Injured again
Alysson has sustained an adductor injury in training but is expected to return before the end of the season, Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Alysson hasn't seen Premier League action since March 4, as he failed to be an option despite recovering from a previous physical problem. However, he's now set to be sidelined for a short period due to the adductor issue. With the winger playing a limited role this season, his absence shouldn't change the usual lineup, leaving Morgan Rogers, John McGinn (undisclosed) and Jadon Sancho in contention for spots.
Continues to train
Alysson continues to train with the team, but he hasn't made a recent squad in addition to being ineligible for Europa League.
Analysis: Alysson hasn't appeared since March 4 because of injury, but he's also far down on the depth chart and hasn't made a squad despite returning to training recently. He's more of a project at 19 years old and figures to build his role in the team over the summer. Since joining from Gremio in January, he's suffered multiple injuries and has struggled to get up to full fitness.
Doesn't make bench Thursday
Alysson (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Thursday's Europa League game against Bologna.
Analysis: Even though Alysson has been training with the group in recent days, it seems the Brazilian is either not fit enough or simply out of favor to play here. Alysson hasn't played for Villa since logging 27 minutes off the bench in a 4-1 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League back on March 4.
Training with group
Alysson (undisclosed) is back in training with the group, according to manager Unai Emery. "Alysson is starting to train with the group as well, progressively getting better," Emery said.
Analysis: Considering Alysson has been out of the squad in Villa's last five matches and returned to training just two days before the Forest fixture, it wouldn't be surprising if he's not ready to play Sunday. If that's the case, his next chance to play would be the return leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Bologna on Thursday, April 16.
Makes bench Friday
Alysson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's game against Aston Villa.
Analysis: The winger recovered from a knock sustained in training and will be available off the bench for Villa. Alysson joined the club from Gremio in the January transfer window but has yet to make a big impact overall.
Set for return
Alysson (undisclosed) is an option for Friday's match against Wolves, according to manager Unai Emery. "Alysson is coming back, I think normally he will come back in the squad for tomorrow."
Analysis: Alysson has been out of the past two games and has only played one match since joining the club, set to change that with his expected availability Friday. However, the Brazilian will likely only earn a bench spot, appearing for only 16 minutes in his club debut. That said, the winger is more of an option for the future, likely to work into time but hold no major role yet.
Not playing vs. Leeds United
Alysson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Leeds United, manager Unai Emery told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "The players who were injured are still being injured - John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and Alysson."
Analysis: The Brazilian winger picked up a knock that caused him to miss the FA Cup tie against Newcastle, and while the injury is not believed to be serious, it'll rule him out of this contest as well. Alysson's next chance to play will come against Wolverhampton on Friday, Feb. 27.
Misses out with knock
Alysson was out for Saturday's 3-1 loss to Newcastle due to a knock, according to Jacob Tanswell of the Athletic.
Analysis: Alyssonn was left out of Saturday's match as a precaution after a knock was suffered in training, still building up fitness after his move to the club. Luckily, he is not dealing with anything major, only dealing with a small issue. With their next match against Leeds United on Feb. 21, he will have a full week to recover and likely be an option in the next contest.
Makes Aston Villa debut
Alysson (knee) registered one inaccurate cross in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against Brighton.
Analysis: The 19-year-old winger finally made his debut with the Midlands club after joining from Brazilian club Gremio. He's a long-term prospect and isn't likely to challenge for a starting spot any time soon, however, so his immediate fantasy prospects are limited for the time being.
Continues to progress
Alysson (knee) is still out moving forward, according to manager Unai Emery.
Analysis: Alysson is still working on his return this week as a knee injury has halted his start with Villa, yet to play since inking a deal with the club. However, he is progressing, good news despite no clear return in place. Once he is fit, he role remains unknown, although many expect him to be more of a depth option in his first season.
Nursing knee injury
Alysson is nursing a knee injury and will likely have to wait a while before making his Aston Villa debut, according to Kurtis Leyland from Birmingham World.
Analysis: Alysson completed a move to Aston Villa from Gremio and arrived with a minor knee injury that he was expected to clear quickly, but reports say he suffered a setback in training and could now miss some time. The young winger will likely have to wait before making his debut with the Villains, also because he will need to build his competitive fitness to be able to perform in the best league in the World. That said, Alysson could see decent playing time off the bench in the second half of the season to show his talent, since Donyell Malen left the club and Evann Guessand is nearing an exit as well, leaving a viable spot to claim for the young Brazilian.
