Wed Mar 12 21:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Aston Villa Boosted by Trio’s Return for Champions League Clash Against Club Brugge
**Chennai, March 13, 2025** – Aston Villa will welcome back three key players for their crucial UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg match against Club Brugge on Wednesday. Manager Unai Emery confirmed the return of forward Marco Asensio, midfielder Amadou Onana, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, all of whom missed Saturday’s Premier League victory over Brentford.
The news provides a significant boost for Villa, who hold a commanding 3-1 lead from the first leg in Belgium. While Villa aims for its first Champions League quarter-final appearance in over four decades, Emery emphasized that the two-goal advantage will not be taken lightly. Midfielder Ross Barkley, forward Donyell Malen, and defender Andres Garcia remain sidelined for the encounter.
