Aston Villa suffered a setback as their player is set to miss the upcoming Champions League clash with Bayern Munich following an injury sustained during their game against Wolves.
On Saturday, Aston Villa achieved a remarkable comeback to win 3-1 against Wolves, but Unai Emery faced an injury concern.
Although Villa claimed their fourth consecutive Premier League victory, it was not as straightforward as their previous win against Everton.
They fell behind in the 25th minute after a goal from Matheus Cunha, but rallied in the second half, scoring three goals late in the match.
Morgan Rogers was instrumental in the comeback, assisting goals from Ollie Watkins, Jon Duran, and Ezri Konsa.
Emery’s tactical adjustments, including replacing Leon Bailey with John McGinn at halftime, played a crucial role in the victory.
John McGinn appeared upset as he left the field with an injury during the match against Wolves.
His availability for the Champions League home game against Bayern Munich on October 2nd is now in doubt.
McGinn’s absence would be a major loss for Aston Villa.
Initially, Emery had given McGinn an ultimatum upon his arrival at Villa Park, which raised concerns about McGinn’s future with the team.
Nearly two years later, he has become a vital player, known for his relentless pressing and leadership on the field.
As captain, McGinn exemplifies the Villa press and effectively orchestrates play from the center.
Following this injury update, Aston Villa will feel the impact of losing his contributions in both defense and attack, particularly in the critical Champions League match against Bayern.
The hope is that McGinn recovers swiftly to participate in the significant home fixture against the Bundesliga giants.
