Sancho Set to Rejoin Full Training at Aston Villa as Emery Prioritizes Fitness

Illness plus a disrupted pre-season have delayed the loanee’s integration.

Overview

  • Manchester Evening News reports the 25-year-old is expected to resume full training after working separately during his recovery.
  • Unai Emery has urged patience, saying Villa need to get Sancho fit before he can assume a bigger role.
  • Sancho has played only eight Premier League minutes so far, with his lone start in the Carabao Cup at Brentford and a brief Europa League outing.
  • The Daily Mail, via Football Insider, reported he trained away from the first team while ill and missed fixtures against Feyenoord and Burnley.
  • Villa are reportedly covering most of his wages on the season-long loan, and separate reports suggest Man United could allow a free exit next summer.
