The midfielder missed the start of the season with a broken foot sustained while playing for England at the European Under-21 Championships.
But he expected to be back working at Bodymoor Heath during the next couple of weeks in a timely boost for Emery, with Villa’s season poised to get busy as they enter the Europa Conference League group stage.
Left-back Alex Moreno returned to training during the international break and will provide competition for Lucas Digne.
Centre-back Diego Carlos was, however, ruled out of today’s visit of Crystal Palace with the hamstring injury sustained in the 3-0 defeat at Liverpool earlier this month, while Bertrand Traore is also sidelined.
