Aston Villla could be without Rudy Gestede for tomorrow's Premier League curtain closer against Newcastle United at Villa Park.

Gestede has sustained a groin injury and is a doubt for Villa's final top flight home match.

Caretaker boss confirmed that Jordan Veretout is struggling with a pelvic injury, while Kieran Richardson remains sidelined with calf trouble.

Villa will also be without left-back Aly Cissokho who is suspended following his sending off in last weekend's defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road.

“Gestede’s struggling with an injury," confirmed Black.

"Richardson’s obviously out, Cissokho is suspended, Veretout is struggling with a pelvic injury as well – that’s about it."

Villa will be aiming to avoid a record 12th consecutive league defeat having equalled a club worst dating back to 1963 with last weekend's setback.
