GAME LOG

Limited minutes in debut season Malen started in two of his 14 appearances while scoring three goals on 15 shots in the Premier League.
Impact Malen had a rough stretch after joining Aston Villa, with the forward struggling to earn much time after the move from Dortmund. He would only earn a pair of starts while notching just under 300 minutes of play, although he was able to bag three goals still. The forward was a sparkplug for Dortmund before his transfer and is expected to be a similar player for Villa, hopeful to see his role grow a bit more next season and possibly capture a few more starts if he is in form, although his rotational role seems more likely to stick.

Strikes crossbar late in match Malen had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 win over Fulham.
Impact Malen entered as a substitute and nearly extended Aston Villa's lead, hitting the underside of the crossbar in stoppage time but also missing a one-on-one situation a bit earlier against Bernd Leno. His pace and movement posed challenges for Fulham's defense during his time on the pitch as he brought a big impact off the bench with three shots, a record for him in the Premier League. The Dutch forward will aim to bring impact again on Saturday against the Cherries.

Arsenal's Champions League preparations go wrong after another loss to Bournemouth

This was not the way Arsenal wanted to prepare for its Champions League semifinal clash with Paris Saint-Germain

Catching fire at right moment Malen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Southampton.
Impact Malen seems to be coming into form at the opportune time for Aston Villa. In Saturday's 3-0 victory over Southampton, Malen played 24 minutes. In that appearance, he scored one goal from his only shot, made one pass into the final third, and had two touches in the opposition's box. Malen has now scored in three straight games in all competitions for the club, and he will certainly be looking to make it four in a row against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the UCL.

Consecutive appearances with goal Malen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest.
Impact Malen knocked home an inviting cross Saturday to give Aston Villa their second goal in a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest. The goal marked his second in his last two appearances (one start).

Impact Malen scored his first goal for Aston Villa during the three scoring showdown against Brighton. He's been used just as a sub for the side with a start in seven PL appearances since joining from Borussia Dortmund, collecting five tackles and three crosses (zero accurate).

Not eligible for UCL Malen (not injury related) is not in the squad and won't play Tuesday against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League.
Impact Malen was one of two January signings who wasn't added to the UEFA Champions League squad for the knockout stages, with Andres Garcia being the other one, meaning the Dutchman will only suit up for Villa in domestic competitions. Malen will be available to face Brighton on Saturday, but he will be ineligible again for the return leg of this Brugge tie on March 12.

Impact Malen looks to be likely for Saturday despite picking up an illness, with the forward expected to shake off his issues by then. This would be solid news for the club, although he will probably only see a bench spot.
