Martínez leads Aston Villa injury list versus PSG
The Aston Villa team faces off against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup final. However, the English team is missing star goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, along with Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins, due to their rest periods following lengthy involvement in the World Cup. The trio was given a four-week break after their season ended on July 19, in line with their international duties at the Qatar World Cup finals, which lasted until the final and included the third-place playoff, affecting their readiness for the match. In contrast, Paris Saint-Germain is regaining several players who participated in advanced stages of the tournament, such as Ousmane Dembélé and Fabián Ruiz, giving them an advantage going into the game. Young players have been relied upon to cover the absences, while Aston Villa’s manager reaffirmed his confidence in the team despite numerous key players being unavailable. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain will enter the match with nearly a full squad, giving them a clear edge ahead of the encounter.
