Aston Villa Report

John Townley

Unai Emery's injury update: "I can't speak about the injured players because I need to check with the doctor for some small issues. Normally, the players who were out are out, and we have enough players to compete and prepare the game." #AVFC https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spor

Emery: "Brighton have fewer points than deserved. Clearly. I like watching how they play a lot.They're consistent in style,playing good football in combinations, intense & very good press. They lost points where they deserved more. They're a team playing fantastic football."#AVFC

Emery on signing Jadon Sancho permanently: “Not yet (not decided). But he’s a fantastic player. "He will need another contract and maybe it could be here. In case he’s playing his best football, we will want him. Maybe other teams could be involved in the interest for him." #AVFC

Emery on Sancho: “The first part of the season was not enough. He was working, he was trying, but he was not achieving the performances needed. I spoke to him a few times about the challenge he has and he must be very demanding in himself, like he is now." (1/2) #AVFC

John Townley

Unai Emery is interested in keeping Jadon Sancho at #AVFC beyond this season if the winger continues to show improvement. "He will need another contract, and maybe it could be here. If he plays his best football, we will want him." https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/
