Steve Bruce has confirmed that Aston Villa have an injury crisis, with six players in trouble ahead of the Championship game with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
The latest player to suffer is Man United loanee Axel Tuanzebe who won’t be involved after suffering from a hamstring injury.
The 20-year-old centre-back has started the last two Championship games after his January switch from the Premier League giants, and has impressed with his displays.
However, Bruce will not be able to call on his services in the 3pm kick-off on Saturday.
The news was posted by Birmingham Mail reporter Gregg Evans from Steve Bruce’s pre-match press conference on Friday morning.

Bruce also confirmed that Saturday’s game would be too early for Albert Adomah and standout player Jack Grealish.
However, one ray of light is that Robert Snodgrass should be okay to play after coming off in midweek at half-time with an illness.
On Adomah and Grealish. 'It's maybe too early for this weekend," says Steve Bruce. Snodgrass should be okay. #avfc
