Emery hopeful Aston Villa stars will return soon following dreadful defeat to Brighton

Unai Emery remains optimistic that Aston Villa's key players may soon return from injury, following their heavy 4-0 loss to Brighton. During the match, several players were unavailable to contribute, including Johan Manzambi, Brian Madjo, Tammy Abraham, and Ollie Watkins. Following the game, Emery provided an update on the injury status of the trio.

Manzambi has started working on the field but is still two weeks away from rejoining the team. Madjo, too, has a minor injury but is expected to progress well and begin training with the team. Tammy Abraham, likewise, is likely to return soon as well. Emery expressed hope that the team will soon have new strikers ready to step onto the pitch, though this remains uncertain.
