He withdrew during the lead-up to the Brighton game after feeling &#8220;awkward&#8221; and discomfort. Julian Timber (knock): Dealing with a knock after landing awkwardly in the EFL Cup. He missed the game against Brighton and his availability for Tuesday remains uncertain. Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es (return): A significant upgrade, Gabriel made a surprise return from the bench against Brighton and is expected to start against Villa, especially given the injuries to the Gunners&#8217; defense. Kai Havertz (knee): Very close to returning from a long-term knee injury. He has returned to full training and manager Mikel Arteta said his availability was &#8220;a matter of a few days&#8221; and he could join Villa&#8217;s squad. Ben White (thigh): Out with a hamstring injury sustained in mid-December. Although not considered a major player, he is expected to be out until early to mid-January. Cristian Mosquera (ankle): Still recovering from an ankle injury. His return is currently targeted for mid-January Max Daumann (ankle): The youngster has sustained serious damage to the ligaments in his ankle and faces a long-term absence. He is not scheduled to return until early 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs  __className_e10e47\">Aston Villa injuries and suspensions<\/h3>\n<p>Matty Cash suspended: Suspended against Arsenal after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Chelsea. Boubakar Kamara suspended: He also received a one-match suspension after receiving a caution at Stamford Bridge. This is a huge blow to the stability of Villa&#8217;s midfield. Pau Torres (calf): Remains sidelined with a calf injury. He is scheduled to return home in early January 2026, meaning he will miss the Emirates trip. Tyrone Mings (thigh): Still recovering from thigh issues. Despite his progress, manager Unai Emery has indicated he is still weeks away from returning to the first team (probably mid-January). Ross Barkley (knee): Currently out with a knee injury. His recovery timetable is slightly longer than for central defenders, with his return not expected until late January or February. Harvey Elliott (illness): Missed recent session due to illness. Evan Guesand (national team): Absent due to joining Ivory Coast squad for Africa Cup of Nations Read more: Mikel Arteta&#8217;s injury update sees Julien Timber in true Arsenal colors Follow Daily Mirror:<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span aria-live=\"polite\" aria-busy=\"true\"><span class=\"react-loading-skeleton\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;--base-color:#88888810;--highlight-color:#8888880d\">\u200c<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span aria-live=\"polite\" aria-busy=\"true\"><span class=\"react-loading-skeleton\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;--base-color:#88888810;--highlight-color:#8888880d\">\u200c<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"CIPAConsentNotice_cipa-logo__zLA_w\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/nav-web-static\/release-v42-28b46b63648aab896fb526ac27f4c19ae97a3507\/public\/logo-reach.png\" alt=\"reach logo\"\/><\/div>\n<p class=\"CIPAConsentNotice_cipa-info__pwt6J\">Across Reach and our entities, we and our partners use information collected from your device through cookies and other identifiers to improve your experience on our Site, analyze how it is used, and serve personalized ads.
