Youri Tielemans is already unhappy with Unai Emery over his lack of game time at Aston Villa, just four games into the latest Premier League season.
The Belgian joined the Villains on a free transfer after leaving relegated Leicester City in the summer.
But the 26-year-old midfielder has started just one game for his new club so far this season, in the second leg of the Europa Conference League against Hibernian, with the tie comfortably settled in Aston Villa's favour after a 5-0 win in Scotland a week earlier.
