Overview
- Elliott was omitted from the squad for the win at Leeds, with 18-year-old George Hemmings preferred on the bench.
- He remains on roughly 96 minutes of Premier League action and has not featured in the league since being withdrawn at half-time against Fulham in late September.
- Reports state his loan includes a mandatory purchase of about £35 million once he reaches 10 appearances for Villa, with five recorded so far.
- Unai Emery publicly praised Elliott’s work and commitment but cited competition, highlighting Emi Buendía’s form.
- Given registration rules barring a third club this season, any January change would point to a return to Liverpool rather than another move.
