Unai Emery has left Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia out of Aston Villa’s squad for the Champions League knockout phase.
Unai Emery was forced to make a tough call with Aston Villa’s revised Champions League squad Villa signed Malen from Borussia Dortmund last month in a deal worth €23 million plus €3m in add-ons, while Garcia joined in a £7m move from Spanish side Levante. Marcus Rashford , Marco Asensio and Axel Disasi also arrived at Villa on loan during the January transfer window.
Donyell Malen has not been included in Aston Villa’s Champions League squad ‘The rules only can accept and register three changes,’ Emery said on Friday. ‘We did more changes in the transfer window than we wanted. Even though we lost one player more because Jaden was a club-trained player and we lost the opportunity through him to have one more. ‘We changed five players and can only register three. The decisions we had to take yesterday and are out are Andres Garcia and Donyell Malen.
