Ezri Konsa is eager to make his return to the field for Fulham this weekend. After a successful start to the season, Aston Villa's manager, Unai Emery, has confirmed that Konsa, along with teammates Amadou Onana and John McGinn, are all fit and available for their upcoming Premier League match against Fulham.
It's been a strong start for Villa, currently sitting in fifth place on the Premier League table with 14 points from seven games. They have also impressed in the Champions League, winning their first two matches against Young Boys and Bayern Munich.
Despite their success, Emery has been faced with some injury concerns. However, he has announced that Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara have recovered and will travel with the team to Fulham. Onana, Konsa, and McGinn are also fit and ready to play, with goalkeeper Robin Olsen being the only player still unavailable.
During a press conference on Friday, Emery shared, "They are getting better. Kamara and Mings will be available for this match and they will travel with us to Fulham. McGinn has been training with us normally this week and is feeling good. Konsa and Jaden [Philogene] are also feeling good."
Furthermore, Emery was pleased to announce that this is the first time this season that almost all of his players are available for selection. The only exception being Robin Olsen, who is still not fully fit to play. Emery stated, "It's good news that almost every player is available for us to play."
One player who has been in exceptional form for Villa is Jhon Duran. Despite not starting a Premier League match yet this season, the 20-year-old has scored four goals as a substitute. He also scored for Colombia during the recent international break. Emery has expressed his intention to give Duran a start in the upcoming matches, saying, "I am thinking about him and his progression here. It's important for him to start in these matches. Maybe tomorrow or in the next games, we will see. He's ready and his next challenge is coming."
Emery continued, "Jhon Duran's performances have been very good for us. He's been getting more and more minutes on the field. I believe this month will be the same."
Villa has a good record against Fulham, having won their last three encounters and five out of the last six. With the return of some key players and the impressive form of Duran, they will be looking to continue their winning streak against Fulham this weekend.
