Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Injury Updates and Team News
Burnley host Aston Villa at Turf Moor on 10 May 2026 in Premier League action (Regular Season - 36). Burnley come into the fixture 19th with 20 points and a goal difference of -36, deep in the relegation places. Aston Villa arrive in strong shape, sitting 5th on 58 points with a goal difference of 4, pushing for Champions League qualification.
Burnley Availability
Burnley have three confirmed absentees.
- J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.
- J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
All three are defensive or midfield options, reducing Vincent Kompany’s flexibility in protecting a back line that has already conceded 71 goals in 35 league matches.
Aston Villa Availability
Aston Villa also face key issues in midfield.
- B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
- A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful.
With B. Kamara out and both Alysson and A. Onana uncertain, Villa’s depth in central areas is stretched, though leading attacking figures such as O. Watkins and M. Rogers remain available.
Impact Summary
Burnley’s absences mainly weaken their defensive structure and ball progression from deep, a concern against a Villa side with 48 league goals. Villa lose an important screening midfielder in B. Kamara and could be without additional options, but crucially retain their primary attacking output, including O. Watkins (11 league goals) and M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists), preserving most of their offensive threat.
