Ruled out for three to four weeks
Wan-Bissaka (hamstring) has been ruled out for three to four weeks after sustaining an injury during Saturday's 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United, according to coach Unai Emery, per John Townley of Birmingham Live.
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during the closing stages of Saturday's victory over Newcastle. The defender was forced off late in the second half despite delivering a strong performance, with coach Emery initially expressing concerns about a potential muscular problem. The manager has now confirmed that Wan-Bissaka is expected to miss between three and four weeks. His absence represents a setback for Villa's defensive rotation, particularly with Matteo Ruggeri (hamstring) also sidelined. However, Ian Maatsen (ankle) returned to team training Tuesday and could provide an additional option in defense, although he may need time to regain full match fitness. Wan-Bissaka will likely target a return in mid-to-late November, depending on his rehabilitation progress.
Tending to hamstring injury
Wan-Bissaka is believed to have suffered a hamstring injury, manager Unai Emery told media after Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle United. "I think it's hamstring for [Wan-Bissaka]. He played fantastic."
Analysis: Wan-Bissaka left the game late in the second half, and while further tests are needed to confirm the injury, a hamstring injury could sideline the defender for several weeks. However, Emery confirmed that Ian Maatsen (ankle) is expected to resume training with the group in the coming days, so he could take his place at right-back.
