Matty Cash big Aston Villa doubt for Chelsea
Matty Cash is a major doubt for Villa’s trip to Chelsea next Saturday after sustaining a calf injury on international duty.
The Poland international has returned to Bodymoor Heath after being forced off just nine minutes into Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against the Czech Republic.
A subsequent scan confirmed Cash had strained a muscle in his calf and he is expected to miss around a week of training – putting his participation in Villa’s Premier League match at Stamford Bridge in serious question. Unai Emery’s team are then quickly back in action again when they travel to Leicester on Tuesday, April 4.
Cash was in his best form of the season having started Villa’s last six matches, after initially finding himself behind Ashley Young in the pecking order following his return from the World Cup.
Young, who has enjoyed an impressive season at the age of 37, is now poised to started at Chelsea as Villa aim for a win which would take them into the top half of the Premier League table.
