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.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has spoken in his latest press conference as he prepares to take on Ipswich Town this weekend.

Aston Villa will have Ollie Watkins available for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Ipswich. England striker Watkins missed Villa’s 2-1 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend due to the injury he sustained against Wolves last time out in the Premier League.

Villa’s push for a top-five Premier League finish suffered another setback as they were held at home by 10-man Ipswich.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to BBC MOTD on whether today's draw was a missed opportunity: "The match we deserved to win, when it was 11v11 it was very difficult. They were being man to man and being very aggressive. We had some very good chances for Ollie Watkins and we needed to be clinical.

Aston Villa will be without five first-team players for Sunday's visit of Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round, including star striker Ollie Watkins. The striker was forced off during the loss at Wolves last weekend with a groin injury, and replaced by January signing Donyell Malen.

Mings sustained a knee injury in Villa’s draw with West Ham in January while Watkins suffered a groin issue against Wolves two weeks ago.
