Ruled out against Aston Villa
Cunha (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa due to injury, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "After lunch, the doctor came to me and said they don't feel comfortable, there's some tightness in the hamstrings, so unfortunately they don't make it today. We trained yesterday, but it is how it is. We can't change it anymore and we trust in the other players."
ANALYSIS
Cunha had recently kept his first clean sheet of the season in the draw with Tottenham, contributing two interceptions and a season high seven clearances while playing his third straight full match. This absence is a notable one given his recent solid form on the defensive end, and his path back into contention will be worth monitoring. Ousmane Diomande is the one starting in the back line in his spot for his first start in the Premier League.

Trying for Chelsea contest

I'm trying to be honest because I don't know. I really don't know. I must wait three days, and I hope they give me good news about the injured players because we need them."
