Tyrone Mings added his name to the increasing list of injuries over the weekend after being withdrawn during the first half Meeting with West Ham United. Pau Torres is also on the side in the central part, while the exit from January of Diego Carlos means that the Conse ezri is the only higher option in the role. Lucas Digil is likely to fill on Wednesday.
Amadou Onina and Ross Barkley are missing in the middle of the field due to injury, but Villa saw John McGinn back to the fold on Sunday. The midfielder is unlikely to start in the middle of the week, but most likely in some capacity he will be able to face the club with which to face at 16 occasions during his stay in Scotland.

James Forrest is still missing because of the foot injury, and Daizen Maeda was suspended on a trip to Villa Park after his late red card last week in a 1-0 victory over the youngest.
Celtic predicted the VS Aston Villa line (4-3-3): Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Idah, Palma.
Villa fell last week in its non -inspirational defeat of Monaco, but it should re -strengthen the home crowd and the chance of avoiding the playoffs with an automatic qualification in the last 16.
Defense injuries can cause a little chaos in the villa, and Celtic will want to be used, although they are without recently discarded Furuhashi and Suspendan Maeda.
Villa was far from the best during her weekend with West Ham, but on Wednesday she should return in winning ways, even if he is not completely convincing.
