Aston Villa vs West Ham final injury news as 6 ruled out and 4 doubts

West Ham face Aston Villa in the FA Cup in Friday night as they prepare to enter a new era. The Hammers sacked Julen Lopetegui on Thursday after a disappointing start to the season that has left them in the bottom half of the table, replacing him with Graham Potter.

Villa are in the mix for the European spots, but outside of the Champions League, they have been a little below par overall. A fourth round spot is on offer here, and we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.

Pau Torres - Out

Torres is out until the spring with an ankle injury. Unai Emery has said: “Not Pau Torres [for Saturday] because he broke his fourth metatarsal, and he is going to be out for more or less two months.”

Jhon Duran - Out

Duran will serve the final of his three game suspension here.

Jaden Philogene-Bidace - Doubt

Philogene is a doubt with a knock.

Diego Carlos - Doubt

Diego Carlos may struggle to return here, with Emery having said last week: “Not for tomorrow, Diego Carlos, because he has a small injury as well. He’s not feeling good with one kick he has in his foot.”

John McGinn - Out

Emery has said: “I think it could be hamstring. He could be out for two, three, four, five weeks.”

Michail Antonio - Out

Lopetegui said of Antonio before his departure with the winger having been involved in a car crash: “Michail is going to be out for a long time, for sure. It’s good news that he’s at home with his family, and I’m sure he’s going to try and recover as quickly as possible.”

Jarrod Bowen - Out

Bowen is expected to be out until late February with an ankle injury. Lopetegui said: “Let's see. He's [not] going to be out for a few days for sure. Unfortunately for us, he has an injury, and now he has to recover. I prefer not to give a number of days, but we'll see how things develop.”

Lukasz Fabianski - Doubt

Fabianski is a doubt after his concussion. He will have to pass the protocol to return.

Jean-Clair Todibo - Out

Todibo picked up an injury last week and is expected to miss out. Lopetegui said last week: “We don't know exactly [what the problem is]. We have to assess him tomorrow, but I am not very optimistic.”

Emerson picked up an issue last week, with Loptegui saying: “We suffered an injury yesterday with Emerson, too, in the last training session; that’s why he was not here.”
