Amadou Onana

[Dante Lavelli]

Being judged by medical experts not to be completely ready for the intensity of elite-level football is not the same as "throwing a sickie".

On that note, it’s surprisingly rare players are unavailable due to man flu or the stuff that prevents most people from sitting at a desk. Is that because they’re superfit, exist in medically clean conditions, or just because they’re outside most the day.

It’s mind games to keep Forest guessing, that’s all

Isn't it far more likely that he might be alright to play following an minor injury that kept him out of our last match, or he might not? And at the moment they don't really one way or the other.

Not everything has to be "mind games".

[eamonn]

Has Unai ever mind gamed ?

[PaulWinch again]

The fact he’s training is obviously a good sign. He can’t be far off.

[Crown Hill]

Has Unai ever mind gamed ?

He doesn’t really respect the media so often misses out which players are injured at pre match press conferences and answers questions the way he wants to rather than directly.

[Rigadon]

Fully expect him to play tomorrow, either from the bench or the start. 

[JJ-AV]

We need him to start and do a job on MGW

[Hookeysmith]

Not seen him in any of the official training pictures

[curiousorange]

He was there, with a bandage on his leg. Hunch says he won't start.

[Mellin]

That's a psoitive. At least there is a leg.

[cdbearsfan]

He didn't say the leg was attached.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Dan Bardell was saying that he thinks it's unlikely from what 'he's heard'. He could talk to pigeons for all I know.

I'm probably reading too much into this, because he played for both clubs, but Douglas Luiz is prominent in the matchday graphic Villa use on socials, whereas Onana is nowhere to be seen.

I reckon you are. I'd be amazed if the twentysomething who knocks up Villa's social media graphics has a direct line to Emery to get tips on team selection.
