'Time to Be Patient' - Alejandro Garnacho Delivered Aston Villa Message
Emery said the 22-year-old must keep working as Villa bed in new signings, with Garnacho limited to three substitute appearances this season.
On Wednesday, Alejandro Garnacho watched from the bench as Aston Villa secured a 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Coventry City, marking his third consecutive match without an appearance.
The 22-year-old joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan this summer, following a permanent £40million move to Chelsea from Manchester United in 2025.
Manager Unai Emery said Garnacho is "a little bit behind" due to pre-season circumstances, currently favoring teenagers George Hemmings and Ibrahim Mbaye alongside Alysson for playing time.
Garnacho has made only three substitute appearances for Villa this season, all in the Premier League, as Emery demands a "competitive team" to earn minutes.
Aston Villa travels to Tottenham on Saturday for an early Premier League kickoff, seeking their first top-flight win as Emery integrates new signings into his system.
