Dean Smith confirms Aston Villa star Anwar El Ghazi should available v Leicester
Dean Smith has confirmed that there is a good chance Anwar El Ghazi will be available at the weekend against Leicester City, which would be a significant injury boost.
Villa host second-placed Leicester on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League and will go into the match as underdogs.
The Midlands club suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Chelsea in midweek, but before that recorded a draw with Manchester United and a win over Newcastle United.
They currently sit 16th in the table a point above the relegation places and need to target their home fixtures.
El Ghazi was forced off in the first-half against Manchester United last weekend with a knee injury, which also saw him sidelined for the Chelsea defeat.
But the 24-year-old winger may now be available again for the welcome of Leicester.
“Anwar El Ghazi should train tomorrow so he’ll make himself available for the Leicester game,�

TBR’s View:
With El Ghazi possibly available again for Villa, should Smith bring him straight back into the starting XI?
The Dutch attacker has been a key player so far this campaign, with four goals and five assists in 15 games across all competitions so far.
Smith surely has to find a way to slot him back into the team if he passes a late fitness test, as he’s someone that can dribble either way and would be a real threat to a formidable Leicester defence.
With Jack Grealish thriving on the left flank, Trezeguet should make way despite scoring three times in his last four league appearances.
