Luckily we have Tammy coming in otherwise.....

Just hope it is a 2-3 weeker and not much longer.

Strapping and physio tape he'll be fine

It did look more of a discomfort thing rather than than a full tear type thing, but we thought Tielemans wasn’t too bad either.

Looks like a thigh issue. He pulled up and held
it so unlikely he’ll be fit for Sunday.
Hopefully just a minor muscle injury.

Looks like I was wrong. Hamstring apparently. Not good.

Hopefully he's just pulled his hamstring and will only miss a game or two. He's as fit as a butcher's dog, a few more yoga sessions every week once he's recovered and he'll be hopefully fine.

Hopefully a mild strain or something. Not ideal at all.

You would think he wouldn’t have a. stayed on as long as he did or b. have been able to sprint like he did at a couple of points if it were anything serious. But even if that is the case it could still be a few weeks, like Onana’s last injury.

A snippet from the Press Association quoting Unai:

'Watkins was replaced by goalscorer Rogers in the 35th minute after he clutched his hamstring, which could add to Villa’s injury issues.

However, Emery is hopeful the injury is not as serious as first feared.

He explained: “He felt something, but not a lot. We will test him. Hopefully, we are thinking that is not a lot. I don’t know if he will be available for Sunday (at home to Brentford in the Premier League).”

Fingers crossed.

Tammy starts Sunday. 
Ollie can have a rest for a week.

I'd still be perfectly happy to let him sit this one out.

Absolutely my view as well.
