Leon Bailey - Misses finale with illness Bailey missed Sunday's finale against Crystal Palace due to an illness, according to manager Unai Emery. Impact Bailey likely partied too hard midweek following Champions League qualification. Coming off arguably the best season of his career and definitely of his Villa tenure, he got a much needed break from the squad. After dealing with constant injury problems his first couple seasons, he appeared in 35 matches and started 22 of them in 2023/24, culminating with 10 goals and nine assists, both career highs, even from his time at Bayer Leverkusen.
