Aston Villa have confirmed the squad numbers for the 2022/23 season, with new signings Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos added to the list this year.
Villa get our Premier League campaign underway on Saturday as we travel to the Vitality Stadium to face newly-promoted Bournemouth, in what will be a tough atmosphere and game first up.

However, having made it through our pre-season schedule with no notable injuries and our new signings having adapted and acclimatised to their new surroundings, it’s hoped that we have the quality and sharpness to make a positive start to the new season and get three points on the board early.
With final preparations underway this week, Villa have officially announced the squad numbers for the season, and while many would already have been aware given the numbers that players wore over the course of our pre-season schedule, these are now confirmed for the year.
Marquee summer signings Carlos and Kamara will wear No.3 and No.44 respectively, while the other significant change is that Danny Ings will take on the No.9 shirt this season.
Time will tell if there is still more transfer business to be done as players could still leave or be loaned out, while there is ongoing speculation that Steven Gerrard is still eyeing further reinforcements, and so this is unlikely to be the final list.
That said, it gives an indication as to who has formed part of his plans to this point and which youngsters perhaps will be involved at senior level this season. The main focus though will be securing a win on Saturday, regardless of who features in our Premier League season-opener.
