Aston Villa face Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with both teams having different recent form, having started the league phase with three straight wins and drawn with Fulham respectively. Barcelona thrashed Alaves to bounce back from their El Clásico defeat to Real Madrid. Villa will be hoping the Champions League can provide a fresh dose of confidence, according to Claret Villans.

Barcelona have several injury concerns ahead of the game, with Espart out until December due to an ankle issue, Bardghji sidelined until March with a ruptured ACL, and Olmo out for a couple of weeks with an adductor issue. Christensen and Garcia could return from their muscular issues, while Koundé is likely to miss out but has not been ruled out yet.

Aston Villa also have injury concerns, with Onana out for the season with a ruptured ACL, Ruggeri having a hamstring injury likely to keep him out until early December, and Wan-Bissaka having a hamstring injury that may keep him out for a few more days, although he may return this weekend or be given the international break to recover.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Aston Villa are back in Champions League action on Tuesday night when they head to Camp Nou to take on Barcelona. Unai Emery's men have been in brilliant form in the Champions League, starting the league phase with three straight wins, but Barca are one of the competition's favourites and will offer a huge test. Villa come into this one on the back of a frustrating draw with Fulham, and they will be hoping the Champions League can provide the platform for a fresh dose of confidence. Barca thrashed Alaves over the weekend to bounce back from their El Clásico defeat to Real Madrid the week before. They remain top of LaLiga, but they have six points from a possible nine, coming into this one hoping to move level on points with Villa.
