Johan Manzambi uncertain for Aston Villa against Manchester City
Summary

Johan Manzambi is a doubt for Aston Villa's upcoming clash with Manchester City on Saturday. The 21-year-old midfielder scored the winning goal in Villa's last match, a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, but was substituted in the second half due to an injury. He also missed a midweek Champions League fixture against Viking FK. Villa's manager, Unai Emery, is uncertain about Manzambi's availability and mentioned the need for the team to prepare for his potential absence while noting the confidence of other players stepping up. A decision about Manzambi's status is expected to be made soon as the match approaches.
