George Hemmings
19-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/17/2026
Option for Newcastle tilt
Hemmings (knee) remains sidelined for Wednesday's UCL match against Fenerbahce but could be an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle United, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.
ANALYSIS
Even though Hemmings was initially predicted to be available next week, presumably for the Oct. 21 clash against Viking in the UEFA Champions League, a return for the Newcastle match in the EPL over the weekend hasn't been ruled out yet. Hemmings continues to recover from a minor knee issue sustained while on international duty, but even if he's ready to return to action over the weekend, he'd only start if the squad is rotated now that Johan Manzambi is fit and available.
