Summary
Alejandro Garnacho's loan spell at Aston Villa has been frustrating so far, with the winger limited to substitute appearances and just 31 Premier League minutes under Unai Emery. He was left unused in the 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Coventry City, with Emery telling him to continue working as academy prospects ahead of him have featured more regularly.\n\nGarnacho seized a rare opportunity during the international break, scoring in a friendly against Southampton. The goal could prove a turning point as he looks to establish himself and trigger Villa's conditional obligation to buy him permanently for around £43m at season's end.
