LONDON: Aston Villa officials have expressed their unhappiness with the Premier League for bringing forward a match against Tottenham by two days to help Spurs maximize preparation time for a potential appearance in the Europa League final. The match was due to be played on Sunday, May 18, but will now take place on Friday, May 16 — five days before the title match in the Europa League in Bilbao, Spain.

PSG confirmed he had a hamstring strain and that his “condition is progressing well,” with further assessments to be conducted in the coming days. “Tomorrow he won’t play, that’s for sure,” Luis Enrique told reporters, while also declining to confirm if he will rotate his squad with the Ligue 1 title already in the bag. “We’re going to do what we’ve been doing up to now, with the same idea.
Ruben Amorim knows it is a “risk” to rotate when Manchester United return to Premier League action at Brentford on Sunday but says he has to prioritise their quest for Europa League glory.
