Unai Emery will assess his squad ahead of Saturday’s eagerly-anticipated encounter against Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Villa host the Gunners having equalled a club-record 14 consecutive home league wins with Wednesday’s superb 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
It was the club’s third match in the space of seven days, and Emery will monitor his side in the build-up to this weekend’s clash at Villa Park.
“We are going to train in two hours,” said head coach Emery at Friday afternoon’s pre-match media conference, with Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendía long-term absentees.
“We had to rest a lot after the match we played on Wednesday, we (also) played on Sunday and last Thursday.
“And the players at the beginning, we are not having a lot of information about some injuries.
“But it’s going to be very, very important the last day until tomorrow, how the players as well can tell me physically and mentally how they are for tomorrow.”
