Unai Emery has shared an update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins ahead of Aston Villa ’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday. And the Villa manager has also suggested that Axel Disasi could make his debut for the club following his deadline day loan move from Chelsea.

Unai Emery has slammed Aston Villa’s busy February fixture schedule, claiming it makes no sense. His side are about to play five games in all competitions in the space of just 13 days, with only nine rest days in that period, before they play two Champions League round of 16 ties either side of an away game at Brentford.

Those who have trained this morning with the group and are in the squad are Mings and Ollie Watkins,” said the Villa boss.
