"It is not changing. Not changing, I told you yesterday it is not changing his situation. Today, he played and very fantastic how he helped us, but it's not changing our idea with him."

Missing from squad
Elliott is not in the team sheet for Sunday's match against Manchester City after not being selected, according to manager Unai Emery, per John Townley of the Birmingham Mail. "I explained it two days ago in the press conference. He is training well, and he played some matches, but the performances weren't what we needed. Some players are playing as a number 10, and they are playing well, like Buendia and Rogers, also Ross after he was out. In the squad today we needed to take one player out, and I decided for him. I am happy with him. He is training good. His commitment is fantastic and he is a good guy. Only tactical decision."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move to MLS
MLS club Charlotte FC are interested in signing Elliott, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott has struggled to settle at Aston Villa, and as things stand now, the Midlands club wants to cut the loan short while Liverpool don't want to bring him back, either. Charlotte could be the perfect escape route for the 22-year-old playmaker, who would thrive at MLS while playing a big role in a less competitive environment. It's unclear if Charlotte have already submitted an offer to sign the midfielder, but the rumor has been out there for quite some time.
