Aston Villa's João Gomes and Brian Madjo sidelined by injuries

Summary

Aston Villa faces a setback with João Gomes and Brian Madjo ruled out for several weeks due to injuries. Gomes has a calf injury expected to sideline him for two to four weeks, while Madjo is set to miss up to a month with an unspecified injury. Both players made their debuts in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, where Madjo scored, becoming the youngest player to score in the tournament's history. Manager Unai Emery must now address a selection dilemma ahead of the season opener against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 23, potentially accelerating efforts to sign a new midfielder.
