Trippier was passed fit to play against Aston Villa after being forced off against Everton on Tuesday night with a calf injury.

The defender – who scored in the 3-1 win – took the captain’s armband for the game with Jamaal Lascelles unavailable.

And Trippier opened the scoring with a superb 35th-minute free-kick.

However, Trippier signalled to come off early in the second half. Emil Krafth replaced him. Javier Manquillo was also forced off.
