Riccardo Calafiori


The Italian international was forced to drop out of the starting eleven for the Brighton match after sustaining an injury in the warm-up.

Calafiori was feeling tightness in a muscle and the decision was made not to risk him.

The 23-year-old was left out of the team, with Myles Lewis-Skelly coming in to take his place.

Like Timber, it is not known whether Calafiori will be fit to take on Villa.

Expected Return Date – Unknown
