Amadou Onana
24-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 5/7/2026
Won't play vs. Spurs
Onana (calf) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Tottenham, according to manager Unai Emery. "Difficult," Emery said when describing Onana's situation. "He has a scan, and we will see the consequences after it and how he is feeling. But for Sunday, it is sure he is not available."
ANALYSIS
Onana played 55 minutes before asking to be subbed off in the UEFA Europa League match against Nottingham Forest on Thursday, and it's not surprising that he won't be available on such a quick turnaround. If Onana suffered a setback from the previous calf injury he was dealing with, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss multiple matches. His next chance to play will come May 7 against Forest in the return of the Europa League semifinals.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for big move this summer?
Onana has been heavily linked with a move away from Aston Villa in the summer, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Onana has turned heads with his play for Aston Villa this season, and the Belgian midfielder is likely to depart the club in the summer, as most of the top clubs in England are believed to be keeping close tabs on his performances. Manchester United will need to sign a central midfielder, so they're believed to be leading the race for the 24-year-old.
