Aston Villa have just announced a 22-man squad to travel to Austria for Thursday’s Europa League tie against Rapid Vienna. Interesting to note that there’s no place for Marlon Harewood, even though I believe we could have taken up to 25 players.

Goalkeepers
Brad Friedel, Brad Guzan, Andy Marshall

Defenders
Curtis Davies, Carlos Cuellar, Nicky Shorey, Habib Beye, Eric Lichaj, Ciaran Clark, Shane Lowry

Midfielders
Steve Sidwell, Ashley Young, James Milner, Marc Albrighton, Fabian Delph, Stiliyan Petrov, Nigel Reo-Coker, Craig Gardner

Forwards
John Carew, Gabby Agbonlahor, Nathan Delfouneso, Emile Heskey

As far as I know, the last 25-man ‘List A’ had to be submitted by midnight August 10th, so I’m not sure how our new #3 keeper gets in the squad since he was signed on the 12th. Not that it matters, there’s little more than zero chance of him playing.
