Features Sunday before AFCON
Guessand featured six minutes of bench during Sunday's 2-1 victory against Manchester United and is now heading to Morocco to play the AFCON with Ivory Coast.
ANALYSIS
Guessand remained in Birmingham to feature in Sunday's win against Manchester United and is now set to join Ivory Coast to play in the AFCON, as he replaces Sebastien Haller, who is still injured. Guessand has been more of a rotational player for Villa this season, therefore his absence shouldn't impact the starting XI significantly, although John McGinn is likely to play more on the right wing during his multiple weeks of absence.
