Lucas Digne and Danny Ings to be available for Aston Villa v Spurs – Ben Dinnery
Aston Villa duo Lucas Digne and Danny Ings are set to be available for the Premier League clash against Spurs this weekend, according to Ben Dinnery.
The injury expert shared that the Frenchman wasn’t injured in the 2-1 defeat at Wolves, but instead was suffering from stomach cramps at Molineux.
Ings, who missed the game due to his partner giving birth, is also expected to be available in a big boost to Steven Gerrard after recent defeats.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, Dinnery shared the latest going into a tough task on paper against an in-form Spurs side under Antonio Conte going for Champions League football.
“No injury on Saturday (stomach cramps),” he wrote. “Lucas Digne is expected to be available for the visit of Tottenham on Saturday.
“Danny Ings as well, who missed the loss at Molineux after his partner gave birth.”
Big boost.
After two disappointing defeats, Gerrard will be pushing his side to get back to winning ways.
Spurs are currently sitting fourth before Arsenal play tonight [04 April] and will not be an easy game given how free-scoring they have been of late under Conte.
Stopping Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son will be critical to chances of victory, so having the likes of Digne 100% available will certainly help with that.
Ollie Watkins scored at Wolves from the penalty spot but has looked better with Ings alongside him at times, and that partnership could certainly be key to their chances this weekend.
It’s time to put these negative results behind them, and the squad will be boosted massively by this news.
