The striker has scored just one Premier League goal since joining Villa in an £8.5m move from Genk in January and has fallen behind Keinan Davis and Ollie Watkins in the pecking order.
Samatta did not feature in the 1-0 victory over Sheffield United in Villa’s opening Premier League game of the season.
