"There are still five days to finish the window. Everything we accepted before, only some injuries can change it, like Douglas Luiz is a player joining us because we had injuries in centre midfield."
"With Harvey, it's not changing. Our idea is that we spoke to him clearly. He's a fantastic guy. On Sunday, he was on the bench, and if we needed some help from him, he was ready to do it. He is in the squad tomorrow. But the situation is not changing for him that he has now."
Harvey Elliott had not featured in a matchday squad since November before being included against Newcastle United, though he did not come off the bench in Villa's 2-0 victory. The 22-year-old has made five appearances since joining on loan from Liverpool, with an obligation to buy triggered if he plays ten matches for a reported fee of at least £30m. Injuries to Youri Tielemans, John McGinn and Boubacar Kamara have created a midfield shortage, prompting a loan move for Douglas Luiz. Elliott has been named in the squad for the Salzburg Europa League match.
