When could Ian Maatsen return for Aston Villa after injury update?

Ian Maatsen is making positive progress on his injury for Aston Villa . The left-back suffered an ankle injury in Villa's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest before the break, which forced his side to see the game out with 10 men on the field.

The Dutchman has missed three competitive games since his setback and has been sidelined for more than 30 days now. Matteo Ruggeri stepped in once more to take his place in the 2-2 draw to Brentford on Saturday, but was taken off at the break after suffering his own injury.

With the Italian now expected to be sidelined for a while with a hamstring issue, Unai Emery has to figure out a solution with Matty Cash and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
