Villa Travel to Feyenoord Amid Injury Setbacks

Aston Villa travel to Feyenoord for their second 2025/26 UEFA Europa League match on Oct. 2 at De Kuip (8pm BST/9pm local), live in the UK on TNT Sports 3 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Villa arrive after a 3-1 Premier League win over Fulham and a 1-0 Europa victory at Bologna, but Unai Emery must cope without Tyrone Mings — ruled out until after the international break — while Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans are sidelined or doubtful. Feyenoord, top of the Eredivisie, lost their Europa opener 1-0 to Braga and will be missing several defenders, including Malcolm Jeng (Achilles), Gernot Trauner and Thomas Beelen. The fixture — the clubs' first competitive meeting — will be played at De Kuip, the stadium where Villa won the 1982 European Cup, and Robin van Persie has praised his squad's spirit and urged them to translate domestic form into Europe. Separately, UK bookmakers are advertising new-customer promotions this weekend — including boosted odds and a £40 package at BOYLE Sports, £30 in football free bets at Midnite, and matched first bets up to £40 at talkSPORT BET — all subject to terms and responsible-gambling measures.
