Aston Villa preparing to make late Leon Bailey call
Unai Emery is preparing to make a late call on Leon Bailey’s fitness ahead of tonight’s visit of Everton.
The winger suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-1 win at Leicester prior to the international break but encouragingly for the long-term perspective has not yet been ruled out against the Toffees.
Emery may opt to give Bailey more time to recover with Villa due to start their Champions League campaign away at Young Boys on Tuesday.
“Leon Bailey is still doubtful,” said Emery. “We are going to decide with him whether he is ready to be with us or not.”
