Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says they must be careful with Pau Torres latest injury.

Torres was withdrawn at halftime of victory over Nottingham Forest with a leg injury.

Emery explained: He had a small pain, not an injury at the beginning, or hopefully not. We decided not to take a risk with him.

It was something in his muscle, the back of the leg. He was progressively feeling worse but not feeling like it was an injury.

We will wait and scan him. I am thinking it is not really an injury because he finished the first half. But we were thinking there was a risk and we decided to stop him."
