Arsenal vs Aston Villa early injury news as 7 ruled out and 2 doubts

Arsenal are back in action on Monday night, when they face an Aston Villa side seemingly in a spot of bother.. The Gunners will be looking to make it two from two at Villa Park after taking care of business against Coventry City on the opening day.

Villa were thumped by Brighton, looking severely underprepared as they conceded four times in the first half. Unai Emery has lost hugely significant players this summer, and while money has been spent, it feels as though the talent has not been properly replaced, especially considering the Villans are in the Champions League this season.

But the Gunners won't care about all that, and their only focus will be putting together a solid run of wins to kick off the new season. Ahead of Monday night's game, we have put together the early injury news surrounding both teams.

Amadou Onana - Out

Onana was a huge blow for Villa over the summer, suffering a ruptured ACL that will keep him out of action for the whole season.

Joao Gomes (Suspended) - Out

Neves had a disastrous debut, giving away a goal and then getting sent off. He will be suspended here.

Johan Manzambi - Out

Manzambi is getting closer, but this one will come too soon. Emery said last week: "Manzambi is starting to work on the field, and maybe he will need two weeks more to join us, more or less."

Brian Madjo - Out

Madjo has a short-term issue, but he is also going to be out for another week or so. Emery said last week:"Madjo has a small injury, and I think he can get progressively better and start training with us as well, but he may need some days more."

Tammy Abraham - Doubt

Abraham is battling his way back from a groin injury and could return, but he is also being heavily linked with a loan move to Ipswich Town, so he may not be available for that reason.

Leon Bailey - Out

Bailey has a muscular injury and remains out.

William Saliba - Out

Saliba is going to be out until around November time as he slowly works his way back from a back procedure. Arteta has said: "Wilo, obviously not much, he’s in conservative load management right now, so that's going to take a while."

Jurrien Timber - Out

Timber is not quite ready yet as he works his way back from a groin issue. Arteta said on Thursday: "Jurrien is progressing really well. Let's see how he ends up this week. It's the third week in a row that he's been outside, and we have increased his load. So he's on the right trajectory. If everything goes well, I think next week we're going to step it up again."

Bruno Guimaraes - Doubt

Guimaraes goes down as a doubt for now, but it looks as though he will be available. Arteta has said: "'We just managed the last few days with him. He's out on the pitch. He's been doing training sessions. But we need to manage his load to get to Monday in the best possible condition to be able to get selected."
