Ross Barkley
32-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/1/2026
Suffers long-term injury
Barkley (undisclosed) is out for the next two to three months due to a knee injury he suffered in Sunday's 1-0 win over Wolves, according to manager Unai Emery. "Ruled out as well is Ross , his injury is more than we expected. I don't know exactly, but maybe 8-10-12 weeks. Hopefully a little bit less."
ANALYSIS
Barkley came off the bench for only a mere 13 minutes Sunday before exiting the field due to injury, a rough development for the midfielder as he could miss upwards of two months out due to the knee injury. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has yet to earn a start all season, with all eight appearances coming from the bench. However, he has already missed eight games through injury this season, now unlikely to return until February.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to complete Villa move
Barkley is set to complete a move to Aston Villa, according to Talksport.
ANALYSIS
Everton have been linked with a move for the Luton Town playmaker, who's expected to remain in the Premier League, but it seems Villa will complete the move for him first. The prospect of playing in the Champions League is too tempting for Barkley.
