Latest Hansa Rostock vs Aston Villa team information
Aston Villa are likely to continue with a mix of key players like Jacob Ramsey, Tyrone Mings, Ross Barkley, Boubacar Kamara and young talent. Against Walsall, Emery made 10 substitutions at half-time, using 22 players in total – an approach that could be repeated in Rostock.
Young defender Yasin Ozcan almost scored on his debut after his summer move, while former Feyenoord striker Zepiqueno Redmond could make his Villa debut.
The goalkeeper position remains a question mark for Villa. Emiliano Martinez is uncertain to play, new signing Marco Bizot has only just joined the team, and Joe Gauci picked up a minor injury in midweek. Therefore, Filip Marschall could be the starter.
As for Hansa Rostock, the team will take the field with the strongest possible lineup, led by captain and mainstay center-back Franz Pfanne - a former player of Dortmund II.
Felix Ruschke and goalkeeper Philipp Klewin are still doubtful due to injury. However, midfielder Dario Gebuhr has recovered from illness and is likely to start.

Hansa Rostock:Uphoff; Pfanne, Carstens, Gebuhr; Mejdr, Dietze, Schuster, Harenbrock, Kinsombi; Lebeau, Hummel

Latest football commentary Hansa Rostock vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa endured a mixed 2024–25 campaign. Despite reaching the final stages of the Champions League and competing fiercely for a top-five spot in the Premier League, Unai Emery’s side ultimately had to settle for sixth place after a heartbreaking defeat to Manchester United in the final round. They narrowly missed out on a return to the Champions League and will now continue their campaign in the Europa League – their third consecutive season in European competition.
With a busy schedule ahead, Aston Villa began their preparations earlier this week with a traditional friendly against League Two side Walsall. Emery gave several youngsters a chance to test themselves at Bescot, but Villa’s inexperienced squad lost 1-0 on Wednesday.
After their opening defeat, Villa will travel to Germany and the United States for friendlies against Hansa Rostock, Eintracht Frankfurt, St. Louis and Nashville. They will return to the Bescot Stadium to face Roma, then close out their pre-season with games against Marseille and Villarreal, before opening their Premier League campaign at home to Newcastle United.
Hansa Rostock will face Villa as part of the club's 60th anniversary celebrations. The former Bundesliga side (1995–2005) now play in Germany's third tier, finishing fifth last season – a remarkable achievement after being relegated.
Daniel Brinkmann's men are preparing hard for their 3. Liga opener against Erzgebirge Aue, followed by a German Cup clash with Hoffenheim. Hansa beat Magdeburg's U23s 4-1 in their summer training camp, but Aston Villa are clearly a much bigger test in terms of class and fitness.
