John McGinn - knee
Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn (31) is facing a period on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury during the match against Everton and is set for further assessment by specialists. Manager Unai Emery confirmed that McGinn is still visiting doctors to determine the best course of action, with his return timeline depending on both medical advice and how the player responds physically. While no definitive schedule has been set, the Scotland international is expected to miss several weeks, with a potential return pencilled in for late February (Source: Aston Villa)
