Ludwig Augustinsson is spying his chance at Aston Villa.

The 28-year-old is yet to feature for Steven Gerrard's team since joining on a season-long loan from Sevilla but could now get an opportunity, with first-choice left-back Lucas Digne expected to miss the next two matches through injury.

Aasked about Digne's injury by the Swedish press, he replied: “It is clear that it opens up opportunities for others – and for me.

“But we will need all players this season if we are to get good results, there will be many games.

"Whether he (Digne) is injured or not, I think the chances will present themselves."
