Overview
- Roma announced the early end of Bailey’s loan by mutual agreement, clearing his immediate return to Aston Villa.
- Bailey’s spell in Rome was curtailed by injuries, beginning with a muscle problem in his first training session and yielding about 317 minutes across 11 games.
- He featured just seven times in Serie A for roughly 181 minutes and recorded two assists in all competitions.
- Reports in the UK suggest Bailey could be available for selection for Villa’s trip to Newcastle this weekend.
- Donyell Malen has already joined Roma on loan from Villa and scored on his debut, while Villa are pursuing a striker with multiple outlets reporting interest in Tammy Abraham, though any move would need to be negotiated given his loan at Beşiktaş.
