Ludwig Augustinsson likely to be available for Aston Villa v West Ham
Left-back Ludwig Augustinsson is expected to be available for Aston Villa for their Premier League clash against West Ham.
The 28-year-old did not take part in the Villan’s midweek fixture in the EFL Cup against Bolton Wanderers due to a knee injury.
As per BBC Sports, the player has trained with the squad on Friday and is expected to be available for selection against the Hammers.
Important
Aston Villa came into this season hoping to improve on their previous campaign where they finished in the 14th position with 45 points.
However, they are going through a horrid beginning to their new campaign after managing to register just three points from the first three matches.
When Steven Gerrard joined the club, the general sense was that the hierarchy is now eager to push for a spot in the top-10 and slowly but surely moving towards battling for a top-six place.
But it has not gone to plan for the former Rangers manager who is finding it hard to get the results that were expected of him.
Therefore, the match at the weekend against an opposition who are also struggling big time will be an opportunity for Villa and Gerrard and the fans will be hoping that their team will finally get things rolling with big three points in front of the home crowd on Sunday.
In other Aston Villa news, manager Steven Gerrard is very keen to bring Liverpool defender Joe Gomez to the club.
