Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Aston Villa coach Steven Gerrard has not indicated why Marvelous Nakamba was absent from the team that won 4-1 against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean midfielder was not part of the matchday squad for the game that the midfielder was being tipped to feature.<\/p>\n

Nakamba is yet to play this season and has only made just one appearance on the team sheet as an unused substitute.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday post-match update, Gerrard, a former Liverpool captain said the club\u2019s left-back, Ludwig Augustinsson had an injury but Marvelous Nakamba and Morgan Sanson simply missed out on being named in his 20-man squad.<\/p>\n

The Birmingham Mail quotes Steven Gerrard as saying:<\/p>\n

Luda\u2019s got a bit of a tweak in his knee but should be available for the weekend all being well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a serious one but there was no need to take a risk on that. Sanson and Nakamba are fine.<\/p>\n

His absence comes amid reports that Villa are ready to sell the 28-year-old Warriors midfielder if they get the right offer.<\/p>\n

There are reports suggesting that the former Club Brugge midfielder could be on his way out to Turkey.<\/p>\n
