Aston Villa showed four changes for Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League tie against Viking.
Captain John McGinn, Pau Torres, Ross Barkley and Ibrahim Mbaye returned to Unai Emery’s starting XI following Saturday’s 1-0 Premier League victory at Newcastle United.
Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara were named among the substitutes for the Matchday 3 encounter at Villa Park, but Johan Manzambi and Aaron Wan-Bissaka missed out due to injury.
Fit-again duo Ian Maatsen and George Hemmings returned to Villa’s bench, while Taylor Harwood-Bellis was also included in our European matchday 22 for the first time.
