Aston Villa’s £120k-per-week Star May Return Against PSG, Boosting Emery’s Squad

An important Aston Villa player, who has been absent for the last three matches due to injury, may be ready to rejoin the team for their upcoming Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. This potential return comes as Unai Emery’s side prepares to face one of Europe’s top teams.

Aston Villa Demonstrates Depth in Nottingham Forest Victory

Despite juggling multiple competitions, Aston Villa managed to secure a win against Nottingham Forest, keeping their hopes alive for consecutive Champions League qualifications. The team’s success in various tournaments can be attributed to both manager Unai Emery and sporting director Monchi.

Following the January transfer window, Villa brought in several key players who have since made significant impacts. Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford have been particularly impressive, while Donyell Malen is starting to find his form, scoring in his second consecutive match this weekend.

Post-match, Emery expressed satisfaction with the victory but noted room for improvement, especially in the second half when Forest mounted a comeback attempt.

Bailey’s Potential Return from Injury

In addition to the three points gained, Aston Villa received positive news regarding Leon Bailey’s injury status. Emery confirmed that the winger could potentially make his return against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, after missing three games.

Bailey’s comeback couldn’t be more timely, given the importance of the upcoming Champions League fixture. Villa will need all their key players at their best to compete against the French champions, widely considered one of the strongest teams remaining in the tournament.

Before his injury, Bailey had been struggling for form, with only two goals and four assists across all competitions. This marks a significant decline from his performance last season. As he returns from injury, the £120,000-per-week player will be eager to rediscover his clinical edge and provide an immediate boost to Aston Villa’s campaign.
