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 – and this approach 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 - former player of Dortmund II.
Felix Ruschke and goalkeeper Philipp Klewin remain doubtful due to injury. However, midfielder Dario Gebuhr has recovered from illness and is likely to start.

Latest football commentary on Hansa Rostock vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa had a mixed 2024–25 season. 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 ended up finishing sixth after a painful defeat to Manchester United in the final round. They narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification 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 at the start of the 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 two 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) currently play in Germany's third tier and finished last season in 5th place – a remarkable achievement after being relegated.
Coach Daniel Brinkmann and his team are preparing 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.
