"Happy to Be Enjoying Football Again" - Former Chelsea Star Alejandro Garnacho Makes Claim After Recent Pre-Season Friendly

The 22-year-old winger helped Villa build a 2-0 halftime lead and later posted a message that appeared to reference Chelsea.

  • On Saturday, 22-year-old winger Alejandro Garnacho made his debut for Aston Villa in a 3-1 pre-season victory over Indonesia All Stars at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.
  • Garnacho joined Villa on loan after Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso deemed him surplus to requirements, ending a turbulent spell in London.
  • Appearing to take a jab at his parent club, Garnacho posted on Instagram: 'First start after three months. Happy to be enjoying football again.'
  • Aston Villa manager Unai Emery expressed satisfaction with his squad, stating, 'We are happy and we are feeling comfortable here,' as tactical integration continues.
  • The loan deal includes a conditional obligation to buy for £43 million, with Manchester United entitled to 10 per cent of any future transfer fee.
