Alejandro Garnacho has not been named in Aston Villa’s squad to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. The winger is absent because he is undergoing concussion protocols after suffering a head injury during Villa’s pre-season match against BG Pathum eight days ago. Pathum midfielder Ryan Edwards caught Garnacho as he attempted to block the winger from running past him towards the end of the first half. Garnacho had been starting successive pre-season games for Villa, having also featured from the outset against Indonesia All Stars at the start of Villa’s Asia tour. The 22-year-old, who travelled to Salzburg with his new teammates, joined Villa from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal that includes a conditional obligation to buy.
