Emery Eases Worries Over Leon Bailey’s Condition After Aston Villa’s Victory Against Arsenal
Reggae Boy Leon Bailey, who played a pivotal role in Aston Villa’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday, has raised injury concerns after being substituted at halftime.
Despite providing the crucial assist for John McGinn’s early goal, Bailey did not emerge for the second half, leaving fans anxious about a potential injury setback.
Aston Villa’s head coach, Unai Emery, has since sought to calm fears surrounding Bailey’s condition.
Emery hinted that fatigue might be the primary reason for the substitution, offering a glimmer of hope regarding the player’s well-being.
“He was tired, completely tired! Hopefully, he’s not injured, but I don’t know exactly,” Emery reassured concerned fans.
Bailey’s impactful performance against Arsenal followed his winning goal against Manchester City last Wednesday night, solidifying his reputation as a key player for Aston Villa in crucial matches.
Bailey has missed just one league match throughout the season.
The Jamaican international’s potential setback raises questions about his availability for the upcoming Europa Conference League clash against Zrinjski on Thursday night.
Villa fans are undoubtedly hoping that Bailey’s early substitution against Arsenal was merely a precautionary measure to manage fatigue rather than a recurrence of an injury.
