Aston Villa are hopeful that Chelsea-owned Tammy Abraham will be available for the match against Preston North End on Tuesday evening, according to The Express & Star.

Abraham, who joined Villa on loan from Premier League side Chelsea in the summer transfer window, featured for the Villans in their 1-1 draw with Bristol City away from home at the Ashton Gate Stadium in the Championship this past weekend.

The 20-year-old striker – who earns £50,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – was substituted in injury time due to a calf problem.

According to The Express & Star, Villa are hopeful that Abraham will be fit for the Championship match against Preston at Villa Park on Tuesday evening.

Need to win

Abraham being fit will be a massive boost for Villa, who need to pick up all three points against Preston.

Although Steve Bruce’s side are still very much in the running for the Championship playoffs, their recent form and performances have not been great.
