Aston Villa are prepared to be without the services of Morgan Rogers for the visit of Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The England international found the net during the Villans' 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night, whilst also picking up his fifth yellow card of the top-flight term.
As a result, the attacker will be suspended for the hosting of Leicester on the weekend, when Unai Emery's side will be looking to extend their unbeaten league run at Villa Park to 10 matches.
Also out of action due to disciplinary issues, Jhon Duran will be unavailable on Saturday, meaning that Ollie Watkins should continue to lead the line up front.
There is a selection dilemma for Emery at the heart of his backline, with Pau Torres now expected to be sidelined for two months owing to a foot injury sustained against the Seagulls last time out.
Diego Carlos is an almost certainty to start for the hosts, with the returning Tyrone Mings set for an extended run in the XI owing to the Spaniard's absence.
Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans have been an impressive duo in the engine room for the Villans this season, keeping the likes of Ross Barkley warming the bench.
With 22-year-old Rogers unable to face the Foxes, Emery could hand a starting berth to fellow youngster Jacob Ramsey, who is still searching for his maiden Premier League goal of the campaign.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup: Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Mings, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans, Bailey, McGinn, Ramsey; Watkins
