Taylor Harwood-Bellis - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unused substitute against Tottenham Taylor Harwood-Bellis has yet to start a Premier League fixture for Aston Villa, even after Unai Emery publicly stated that "his time is coming" following the injury to Pau Torres.

Impact Harwood-Bellis is still waiting on his first Premier League appearance for Villa even though the door has opened slightly for him. The summer arrival from Southampton was left out of the club's Champions League squad and had not been involved at all before Pau Torres was injured, after which coach Unai Emery said the defender's time was coming. He was handed his first start in the Carabao Cup tie at Coventry and saw out the full 90 minutes, but Tyrone Mings was preferred for the league game that followed and the centre back sat out the whole match as an unused substitute. He could work his way into the side while Torres is unavailable, though Emery has stuck with the players he knows so far.
