Diego Carlos of Aston Villa has returned to training.
Villa is likely to benefit from the return to training of defender Diego Carlos.
Since suffering a hamstring injury in the 3-0 loss to Liverpool, the center-back has been out for three weeks.
However, he is likely to return to Bodymoor Heath training next week, giving Unai Emery extra defensive alternatives.
Carlos has had a difficult time since joining the club for £26 million from Sevilla in 2022, missing most of last season after rupturing his Achilles in only his second game.
The encounter at Anfield was just the Brazilian’s fourth Premier League start, but he remains an important part of Emery’s plans, especially after the long-term injury to Tyrone Mings, with the head coach needing to deploy his players in the face of a congested game calendar.
