Est. Return 3/12/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cash appeared in 27 Premier League matches in 2024/25, contributing one goal, one assist, and steady two-way involvement from right-back. He was regularly relied upon in both domestic and European fixtures, showing strong availability during a long and demanding season for Villa. His ability to log consistent minutes since 2020, with at least 1,800 league minutes in each Premier League campaign, makes him an important piece heading into 2025/26, especially with Aston Villa competing on multiple fronts again. If he stays fit, Cash will hope to reach better numbers for the season, similar to 2021/22 when he started every game and reached four goals and three assists.
Suffers calf injury against Chelsea
Cash was forced off due to a blow after the first half of Wednesday's matchup versus Chelsea, with manager Unai Emery saying after the game "We will check him tomorrow. We will do a scan, and hopefully not a lot [of time out]. He had some doubts about his calf.", according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.
ANALYSIS
Cash was unable to return to the field for the final 45 minutes of the midweek clash, and he's now awaiting assessment of his injury. Therefore, the defender will be a doubt for next week's Europa League clash against Lille. Lamare Bogarde took his place in the last match and will look to take on a bigger role if Cash requires some time to recover.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Forest interested in reunion?
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Cash, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Cash is the starter on the right side of Aston Villa's defensive line, so Nottingham Forest will have a challenging task trying to sign him. The Poland international hasn't given any signs of wanting to leave, but that might change if Villa end up signing a new right-back in the final days of the transfer window.
