Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[AV84]

Nice to have that option now though, on the right as well as on the left. Bring on some pace and a bit more of an attacking mindset.

[Dogtanian]

Yeah, everyone knows we like an attacking left, so to be able to bring on a pacey attacking right back will cause a few teams problems.

[Brend'Watkins]

He’s an exciting looking player going forward judging him by his game v Bilbao. Can he defend too?

[eamonn]

There's no way he's starting ahead of Cash or Konsa, surely.

[Mister E]

Do we fancy him to start v West Ham today ?

Be a tough debut if he's up against Bowen . Sometimes being thrown in at the deep end is best though .

He'll be up against Kudus, if he plays; Bowen tends to play on Wham's right side.

Suppose it depends on what way we line up. If it's 4 at the back then I'd assume Konsa is CB at the moment, given we haven't seen Carlos for weeks now. Which would mean it's between Cash and Nedeljkovic for RB.

[Footy-Vill]

Clearly very talented as he’s a first teamer squad player at 18.

Probably although I am expecting West Ham under Lopetegui to be a very different challenge to how they played under Moyes.

His pace against Kudus could be very useful...

Agreed. He's a player that I would hope the manager will be brave about and give him gametime, because - building on his already-first team experience - he will definitely improve quickly.

[pablo_picasso]

Yes, I agree.

Im looking forward to watching him grow at Villa over the next few seasons.

[Footy-Vill]

Dan Bardell believes Diego Carlos will start ahead of Kosta Nedeljkovic against Arsenal.

[Bad English]

Is this another person who doesn't exist?

[Demitri_C]

I think he looks very impressive.  For a 18 year old he did very well against a very good arsenal team

[Villa Lew]

Didn't know he was only 18, he can feel very proud of his performance.
