What happened. Alejandro Garnacho has featured for just 31 minutes since joining Aston Villa on loan from Chelsea, with a £43million permanent transfer next summer already looking unlikely. His lack of playing time mirrors Harvey Elliott's previous loan spell at the club.

• Garnacho did not get on the pitch in Villa's 3-1 Carabao Cup win at Coventry on September 16.
• Villa play two friendlies during the break, including against Sevilla on October 2.
• The loan includes a conditional obligation to buy for £43m if certain targets are hit.

“We are delighted with Alejandro. He is so talented.”

— Unai Emery

Garnacho can still win over Unai Emery, starting with the upcoming training camp and friendlies.
