Leon Bailey - signed

[OCD]

Fully fit again according to Smith in the press conference.

Excellent. Interesting if he starts now, I suspect not.

If he doesn't surely it would be due to tactical reasons if he's fully fit.

If he doesn't surely it would be due to tactical reasons if he's fully fit.

He's played 30 minutes in last two months given Watford game was four weeks ago now so he won't come close to lasting 90 minutes given amount of defending we'll have to do.

Would rather give him sub run out and get him fully fit for Everton.

Ollie fit and played 20 odd minutes last game so think it will be front 3 of AEG-Ings-Watkins and probably Ramsey and McGinn alongside Doug to try to press Chelsea a bit.

Nakamba might be useful in this one given the Chelsea home game.

With Bailey though, he was fit enough to play 30 minutes a month ago and should be fit enough to start now, taking him off if he tires. Traore's only just back so he should be on the bench and starting with Bailey but bringing Traore on for him in the later stages would make sense.

Officially  words Smith said
"We’ve also got Leon Bailey back to full fitness now. He’s not disappointed with what he’s shown so far in training...He’s trained with us for the last ten days, so he’s fully over the hamstring problem that he had. We’re excited to see him in a Villa shirt playing lots of minutes"

I'm glad he's back we need him.

Agreed, that’s perfect. Would be good to hear that for Everton at home.
