Malen still has plenty to play for after Euro heartbreak

Signed from Borussia Dortmund for £20 million in January, Malen had expected to play a role in the European campaign during the knockout rounds.

However, following the three loan additions of Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Axel Disasi, manager Unai Emery made the difficult decision to leave Malen out of his squad.

UEFA rules allow clubs to add three new players to their squad after the winter window, even though Villa signed five, with Andres Garcia also joining from Levante.

The Spanish right-back and Malen were sacrificed for the three loan additions, who all played their part in Villa's 6-1 aggregate win over Club Brugge in the round of 16 last month.
