Jack Grealish, Douglas Luiz, Mbwana Samatta, John McGinn, Tyrone Mings, and others have played a role in previous matches, with Smith keeping an eye on the proceedings.
New signing Matty Cash could be part of the next friendly match, which will take place behind closed doors.
Grealish – as well as Mings – will miss Villa’s match with Arsenal due to his recent call-up for the England setup, but carries a slight injury in tomorrow’s Nations League clash with Iceland.
