Alejandro Garnacho’s loan spell at Aston Villa has suffered a fresh setback after Unai Emery admitted the winger is currently trailing his team-mates in the fitness stakes. The Argentine international was left as an unused substitute during Villa’s 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Coventry City, raising further questions about his role in the squad.

Tammy Abraham responded to summer transfer speculation in perfect fashion by scoring twice to guide Aston Villa into the Carabao Cup fourth round. The English striker rejected moves away from Villa Park and has now sent a clear message to manager Unai Emery regarding his starting credentials.
