Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin will miss out for the club as they face Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.
The 23-year-old, who joined from Werder Bremen this summer, is suffering from a hamstring injury and has therefore been deemed unavailable.
However, fellow new signing Edin Hazard is expected to line up on the left side of their midfield at Villa Park.
Chelsea open their Premier League campaign with a trip to Wigan Athletic next weekend.
