Unai Emery assesses Matty Cash and Johan Manzambi for Nottingham Forest match

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will determine the availability of Matty Cash and Johan Manzambi before the club's upcoming match against Nottingham Forest. Cash missed the recent Champions League victory over Club Brugge due to a small injury, and the coaching staff will conduct fitness tests following training sessions. Emery noted that Cash required a few days of rest and remains under observation. Meanwhile, Manzambi returned to training this week after an injury and is closing in on his debut for the squad. Emery intends to make final decisions on the participation of both players based on their performance and physical condition during team practice. The team is managing these injury concerns as they prepare for their next league fixture.
