The 17-year-old was part of a youthful Aston Villa team -- with an average age of 18 years -- that was beaten by Liverpool in the English FA Cup third round on Friday.

Against a strong Liverpool team that included the likes Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, Villa was forced to field a team of youngsters after the club suffered a Covid-19 outbreak earlier the week. The 11 players that started the game for Villa were all making their first-team debuts.
