Ezri Konsa has been sidelined with a knee injury since May and was expected to miss the start of next season, but Steven Gerrard has given a positive update on the 24-year-old, revealing he’s recovered two months early and will be available for selection for their upcoming pre-season friendly.
Aston Villa’s tour of Australia will officially get underway tomorrow (Sunday, 5.35am UK-time) at the Suncorp Stadium against Leeds United. Brisbane’s already packed with both sets of supporters while, for Villa, it’ll be the first time in the club’s 148-year history playing Down Under.
Leeds United face Aston Villa in their second game of their pre-season tour of Australia on Sunday, and Steven Gerrard has named his squad that will face the Whites. Gerrard has named a 33-man squad for their match against Leeds, while Villa will also play Brisbane Lions and Manchester United during their time Down Under.
Aston Villa's pre-season kicks off in earnest at Walsall tomorrow as Steven Gerrard casts his watchful eye over his first-team group. A weakened Villa squad will take to the Banks's Stadium with some - the likes of Boubacar Kamara, Lucas Digne, Matty Cash and John McGinn - having arrived in Australia early ahead of the club's tour which begins next week.
Aston Villa could have a future star on their hands.
If there’s one position Steven Gerrard doesn’t need to strengthen, it’s in defence. The Aston Villa manager already has Diego Carlos, Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa, Calum Chambers and Kortney Hause at his disposal, so it wouldn’t make a lot of sense having a sixth centre-back going into next season.
Aston Villa have suffered a setback in their pre-season preparations, with defender Kortney Hause set to be absent for an extended period of time.
Aston Villa are reportedly 'pressing ahead' and 'preparing' a bid of around £30 million for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.
