Aston Villa are set to take on Wigan Athletic in their next match.
Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce’s latest fitness update, which was delivered at his latest press conference and broadcast on Villa’s official Facebook page, contained good and bad news.
Villa are set to be without Nathan Baker and Andre Green for their match against Wigan Athletic this weekend, with the pair both struggling to shake off an injury.
However, the claret and blues could welcome back both Henri Lansbury and Scott Hogan, as both are on the verge of returning to full fitness.
“I don’t think Nathan will make it. Henri might train today. Hogan has trained for the last two days, we’ll see how he is – that’s a big call. Andre Green, it’s too early for,” Bruce said.
Villa head into their match against Wigan in excellent form, after winning four of their last five matches.
Villa beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their most recent fixture, and now seem to be playing close to their full potential.
At one stage there were fears that Bruce’s side could get dragged into a relegation battle, but they have pulled away into mid-table as a consequence of their strong sequence of results.
Villa could move up into 11th place in the Championship table, if they are to beat Wigan, and other results go in their favour.
