Aston Villa have picked up a fresh injury concern, Unai Emery confirmed after the Carabao Cup loss to Everton. Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey was absent for the 2-1 defeat to Everton on Wednesday night due to a fresh injury, head coach Unai Emery has confirmed. Fatigued and in need of squad rotation, the Villans made five changes for the Carabao Cup clash but were forced to play John McGreal.
That rash move had a knock-on impact on the rest of the team, and the midfield imbalance was obvious, playing into the hands of the Toffees.
Jacob Ramsey was one player they might have used for his energy and quickness in the half-turn, but he was not in the matchday roster at all.
“Jacob is not a serious injury.” “He has a minor injury,” Emery confessed after the game in the post-match news conference. “Hopefully, he’ll be able to return soon.”
“I don’t know if Saturday [against Brighton & Hove Albion] he is going to be ready, but it’s not bad news the injury he has now,” Emery said.
Ramsey isn’t the first player to leave the field this week; Leon Bailey left the game against Everton with what seemed to be a thigh strain.
Emery was unsure of the depth of the problem, but he did say the 30th-minute substitute was due to an injury. The Spaniard admitted that it had a negative impact on the tie’s momentum.
Meanwhile, Emiliano Buendia and Tyrone Mings are still out with long-term knee problems, while Alex Moreno is nearing a comeback from a hamstring injury.
