Aston Villa · 3 notes
Brian Madjo is back with the Villa group after injury ahead of Newcastle in the Premier League on 17 October, but Unai Emery wants patience: Nicolas Jackson scored twice and Tammy Abraham once in the Champions League rout of Fenerbahce. "We can't play with three strikers."
Nicolas Jackson is "feeling better and better" as he settles at Villa, Unai Emery said after the Champions League win over Fenerbahçe. Ibrahim Mbaye and Johan Manzambi are among the newer players who "are getting better and showing it," he added.
Ibrahim Mbaye made his first European start for Villa in the Champions League win. Nicolas Jackson, his national-team teammate, wants more of it: "Hopefully... he will get more... time to play." That is a teammate's hope, not a selection call from the manager.
