Ollie Watkins was forced off with a hamstring injury in Aston Villa’s win over Red Bull Salzburg (AMA/Getty)Unai Emery has played down the severity of Ollie Watkins’ injury ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League match against Brentford on Sunday. Watkins was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half of Villa’s 3-2 win over Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League on Thursday night. The striker, who has scored eight goals in the Premier League this season, will now be assessed ahead of Villa’s game at home to Brentford this weekend. ‘He felt something, but not a lot,’ Emery said after Villa’s win over Red Bull Salzburg. Earlier this week, Abraham completed his return to Villa in a £18.25 million deal from Turkish side Besiktas.
