Lewis Grabban in contention for Aston Villa debut
Posted Friday, February 02, 2018 by PA
New signing Lewis Grabban is expected to be included in the Aston Villa squad against Burton on Saturday.
The on-loan Bournemouth striker, who scored 12 goals in 18 starts for Sunderland during the first half of the season, may have to make do with a place on the bench though.
Villa boss Steve Bruce has named the same starting line-up for the past two matches so he might opt to freshen things up.
Defender Chris Samba (hamstring) is again expected to miss out and striker Jonathan Kodjia remains Villa’s only remaining long-term absentee.
Striker Darren Bent and winger Lloyd Dyer are injury concerns for Burton.
Derby loanee Bent suffered a knock on his debut against Reading on Tuesday while a back injury limited Dyer to a role on the bench.
Defender Kyle McFadzean is expected to shake off an ankle problem.
Boss Nigel Clough could hand a debut to Jacob Davenport after the midfielder made a deadline day loan move from Manchester City.
