Aston Villa prepares for big clash against Brugge: Emery talks about improvement despite poor Premier League start
Core answer: Aston Villa is facing significant challenges in their Champions League campaign against Club Brugge due to a winless Premier League start and key injuries. Key facts: Winless in first 3 PL matches (0 wins), 0-0 draw at Hull; absences of Leon Goretzka (until after international break) and Johan Manzambi (knee injury); return of João Gomes from suspension; previous 1-0 loss to Brugge in November 2024; Emery's 'new test' framing and claims of collective improvement. Source attribution: Match reports and press conference quotes, 2025-26 season. Related Q&A: How does this affect Villa's European ambitions? Emery's experience may help turnaround. What is the impact on squad depth?
The first lesson does not come from the contract, but from an unconfirmed rumor. Despite Aston Villa winning the Europa League last season and making their first Champions League appearance, the current Premier League form makes everything precarious. In the press conference after the 0-0 draw at Hull City, head coach Unai Emery used the phrase 'new test' to describe the match in Belgium. The dressing room atmosphere seems to be shifting from tension to a full restart full of hope, but on the sidelines is a long injury list hanging over the Birmingham club.
