Aston Villa's Marvelous Nakamba targetting Wolves derby return
Villa could be boosted by the return of Marvelous Nakamba for next month’s derby at Wolves.
The midfielder, absent since December after undergoing knee surgery, is targeting the match at Molineux on April 2 for his comeback.
Nakamba excelled during the early weeks of Steven Gerrard’s reign and his return will provide a timely boost to Villa as they target a strong finish to the season.
Gerrard is faced with a possible midfield reshuffle for this Saturday’s visit of in-form Arsenal with Douglas Luiz and Calum Chambers doubts after both required treatment on facial injuries sustained in Sunday’s bruising 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
Left-back Lucas Digne will definitely be absent against the Gunners due to a muscle injury. The £25million January signing is expected to be absent for several weeks, with veteran Ashley Young set to deputise.
