Sancho was playing in his 19th game for Villa, having joined on loan from Manchester United in September.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has only started two Premier League games this season, but in the Europa League he has been in Villa’s starting line-up for each of their past five matches.<\/p>\n
Along with Rogers, he was Villa’s most creative player in a hostile atmosphere in Turkey. He constantly popped up in Fenerbahce’s box and was unfortunate not to add a second goal and an assist to his tally.<\/p>\n
Sancho’s United contract expires next summer but they have an option to extend it.<\/p>\n
He last played for United in August 2024 and has spent the past 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Villa boss Unai Emery – a record four-time Europa League winner, managing his 100th game in the competition – gave Tyrone Mings his first start since November, the defender having been sidelined with a thigh injury.<\/p>\n
Amadou Onana, who has been out with a hamstring issue, was given a late cameo off the bench.<\/p>\n
Emery also appeared to be unhappy with his midfielder Youri Tielemans, gesticulating to the Belgian as he was substituted off in the 92nd minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sancho was playing in his 19th game for Villa, having joined on loan from Manchester United in September.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-259035","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
