Impact Though he did not start, Bailey subbed on in place of Anwar El Ghazi during the 60th minute. The former logged an assist (to a John McGinn goal) that bodes well for future starting opportunities.

Logs assist during debut Bailey recorded an assist with one chance created and three crosses (one accurate) during a 3-2 loss Saturday against Watford.
Unlikely to start Saturday Bailey joined the team Thursday and while he's available for Saturday's opener against Watford, he's unlikely to start, according to manager Dean Smith.
Impact Bailey has yet to play with the team, so there's no reason to expect him to start right away when Villa have other options to turn to. The good news is that he's healthy and should immediately contribute minutes in Saturday's opener.

Heading towards Villa Bailey is expected to join Aston Villa from Bayer Leverkusen after the two clubs announced their agreement for his transfer, pending personal terms.
Impact Bailey is coming off one of the best seasons of his career with nine goals and eight assists in the Bundesliga to go with five goals and two assists in the Europa League. This set him up for a long-expected departure from Die Werkself, though it's to a club where the fit seems better than the guarantee to finish higher in the standings. As Jack Grealish is nearing his own departure, Bailey will help fill the void along with Emiliano Buendia in supporting Ollie Watkins and a strong attacking side.

May not return this season Bailey broke his toe last weekend and is in a race to be an option for the team's final two matches, according to interim manager Hannes Wolf.
Impact Bailey has been a regular the last few matches, but a broken toe won't be easy to return from in less than two weeks. He's on a nice run of form, accruing three goals and two assists in his last four starts, but if he misses the last two matches, someone like Demarai Gray, Moussa Diaby or Nadiem Amiri will likely come into the XI.
