Aston Villa manager Unai Emery says the club are working to find a “solution” for Harvey Elliott (22) after the on-loan Liverpool winger was left out of the squad for Thursday’s Europa League

Elliott's loan deal includes an obligation to make the transfer permanent next summer if he makes 10 appearances for Villa this season.

Aston Villa earned their eighth win in a row by beating FC Basel 2-1 in the Europa League at St. Jakob-Park. Evann Guessand opened the scoring early in the first half, but Villa were pegged back by Flavius Daniliuc before Youri Tielemans came off the bench to restore the lead.

Unai Emery is being touted as the only manager who can stop Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola from once again turning the Premier League title race into their own personal duel. But the Aston Villa manager appears to also have unfinished business with the Europa League.
