Per The Athletic, there is no definitive return date and Manzambi has been recovering in Spain with knee specialist Jurdan Mendiguchia.
The report adds that while the midfielder is progressing well, he is now expected to miss the UEFA Super Cup final against PSG on August 12th.
On the bright side, Villa’s medical team believe his return should be measured in weeks rather than several months.
