Loan clause rules him out Friday
Elliott (not injury related) is unable to feature in Friday's clash against Liverpool due to a loan clause preventing him from playing against his parent club.
Analysis: Elliott's exclusion is a purely contractual matter rather than any fitness concern, with his loan agreement from Liverpool containing a standard clause preventing him from featuring against the Reds. His absence has a limited impact on Aston Villa's starting XI given that he has managed just 20 minutes of action since early February, and the club has enough attacking options to cover his absence.
Unlikely to feature again
Elliott is not available for Saturday's game against Leeds and likely going forward, manager Unai Emery told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "[Harvey] Elliott, as well, is not available for tomorrow."
Analysis: Unfortunately for Elliott, Villa and Liverpool couldn't come to an agreement on new terms, which means he's unlikely to play again for Villa this season. If he hits a certain threshold, Villa would be forced to buy him, something Unai Emery clearly doesn't want. In what has been a lost year, Elliott made just four league appearances for Villa this season.
