Aston Villa will not have Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins available for the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. Multiple outlets report that all three players are ruled out for the match, despite being included in the squad earlier.
Unai Emery is said to be prioritising giving the players additional time off following the end of their season and holiday period. The reports also note that the trio have been linked with possible moves away from the club during the summer window, though the outlets focus primarily on their absence for this specific fixture.
While the sources align on the three-player omission and Emery’s role in the decision, they differ slightly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the expectation that squad changes could be tied to transfer speculation, whereas another stresses the confirmation that the trio will not play despite being named in the week prior.
