Injury-hit Aston Villa have suffered another blow, with captain John McGinn facing a number of weeks on the sidelines. The midfielder has not travelled to Turkey for Thursday's Europa League game at Fenerbahce, while goalkeeper Emi Martinez and Boubacar Kamara are also out. Scotland's McGinn, 31, was forced off early in Sunday's defeat by Everton with a knee injury and boss Unai Emery is yet to discover the extent of the problem. "It could be for some weeks or it could be [less], it depends on the doctor and how he's feeling." Meanwhile, Leon Bailey has returned to Villa after the club agreed to cancel his loan at Roma.
