- Aston Villa Vs. Manchester United – Sun, Feb 11th 2024, 16:30
Aston Villa will have Joe Gauci available for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Manchester United.
The goalkeeper joined Villa on transfer deadline day but was on international duty with Australia’s squad at the 2023 Asian Cup.
Gauci has arrived at Bodymoor Heath late this week and could be in Villa’s matchday squad having received the necessary international clearance.
Pau Torres was named on the bench for Wednesday’s FA Cup replay against Chelsea, while Lucas Digne is also nearing his return to full fitness.
Ezri Konsa and Jhon Durán remain sidelined, alongside long-term absentees Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendía.
“We have a new goalkeeper, Joe Gauci,” said head coach Unai Emery at Friday’s pre-match media conference.
“The players who had injuries are recovering, Lucas, Pau Torres.
“Ezri Konsa and Jhon Durán are still out.
“I think all the other players will be available for Sunday.”
