After playing for his country, Unai Emery would have been keen for his Aston Villa team to return to Bodymoor Heath injury-free.
Douglas Luiz will play against Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa today when Brazil plays England at Wembley.
Another player who is scheduled to visit the home of football is Youri Tielemans. Gareth Southgate’s team will play Belgium the following week.
While serving for Argentina, Emi Martinez will go more than 12,000 kilometers away. The thirty-one-year-old will visit Philadelphia first before moving on to Los Angeles to play Costa Rica.
Matty Cash is another athlete who has already made appearances for his nation. Sadly, ten minutes after coming on in the second half of Poland’s 5-1 victory over Estonia, the 26-year-old was substituted out.
There appears to be a hamstring problem, according to The Daily Mail. The initial issue surfaced when he ran into an advertisement hoarding.
The former Nottingham Forest player has since offered an update.

Matty Cash speaks out following an injury blow to Poland
On Friday, March 22, Cash posted on his personal X account, saying, “A great night in Warsaw ended in a bad one for me!” Everyone, good luck in the final! Come on, Poland! One more.
More bad news for Emery, Cash’s letter suggests that he has ruled himself out of Poland’s European Championship final matchup versus Wales.
Without Matty Cash, how will Aston Villa manage?
Thankfully, this season the Villa manager has switched up his defensive choices. Konsa is accustomed to playing at the right of a back four, which is how he started against West Ham United.
Compared to Cash’s 21 Premier League starts, the Englishman has started 26, which may indicate who Emery is keen to start.
However, Villa’s depth is severely weakened by the injury. For the Villa manager, it would seem like square pegs in round holes if another defender picked up a problem.
At the London Stadium, Cash made his halftime debut and prevented the Hammers from scoring a second goal with a brilliant stop. The right back’s injury could not have come at a worse moment, should it be long-term.
