English midfielder Amadou Onana may miss the seventh-round Champions League match against Monaco. Ahead of the away game, the midfielder is dealing with a thigh issue. He did not finish the previous match against Arsenal. Additionally, Birmingham's squad is missing Pau Torres and Ross Barkley due to injuries. However, John McGinn has returned to full training with the team.

For Aston Villa, this will be their first-ever encounter with the team from the Principality of Monaco. It could potentially be a historic moment, as a victory might secure Unai Emery's team a spot in the Round of 16 of the tournament. With 13 points and a fourth-place position in the standings, the English side should be inspired to achieve another success in European competition.
