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.
Plays full game Thursday
Elliott played the full game in Thursday's 3-2 win against Salzburg in the Europa League but the club still doesn't plan to sign him permanently, coach Unai Emery confirmed in a press conference, according to the Liverpool Echo. "It is not changing. Not changing, I told you yesterday it is not changing his situation. Today, he played and very fantastic how he helped us, but it's not changing our idea with him."
Analysis: Elliott is struggling to find some playing time with Aston Villa this season while on loan from Liverpool. The attacking midfielder played his first full game of the campaign against Salzburg in the Europa League on Thursday, contributing three shots but his situation remains the same, the club doesn't plan to sign him permanently. Elliott will likely see some playing time until the injured players return to the match squad.
