Some of Aston Villa’s key men are major doubts for tomorrow’s clash with Sheffield United.

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce spoke to the media today, ahead of his side’s clash with Sheffield United tomorrow, and provided an injury update on four of his key players, as quoted by the club’s official YouTube account.

The Villans have made a respectable start to their 2018/19 Championship campaign, taking nine points from their opening five games, and Bruce will be desperate for them to pick up all three points against Chris Wilder’s side tomorrow, what with the two-week international break on the horizon.

Aston Villa have four major doubts for tomorrow’s clash with the Blades, and Bruce provided a mixed fitness update when speaking to reporters today, as quoted by the club’s official YouTube account:

“Grealish, McGinn, Kodjia, Adomah. We’ve got a few knocks, so we will have to see how they are. I expect two or three of them to be ok, but Albert’s a struggle, he’s got a back problem, so we’ll see how he is. They will all train today, we’ll see how they train today.”

Villa do have one of the best squads in the division, however, so they should be capable of at least being competitive at Bramall Lane tomorrow, even if they are without arguably their best four players.
