Leon Bailey is well on his way to making his Aston Villa return – and he could even be involved on Sunday when Steven Gerrard leads his Lions to Newcastle United.
Steven Gerrard said: “Yeah, he did part of a session on Monday. Tuesday he did a full session for the first time, so he’s back in the group and back in full training. He’ll continue to be pushed in the coming days. He has an outside chance of being involved at the weekend, but we’ll assess that in the coming days. We need to keep him fit and healthy from now until the end of the season because he’s a big player. He’s a big investment for the club. He should feel like a new signing for all of us because he’s a big talent. He feels like he’s in a good place but we just need to be patient for the next week, ten days and then I’m sure he’ll be ready to go full throttle and right in.”
