From the source

George Hemmings will not be too encouraged about his prospects of starting when Aston Villa face Fulham. The winger forged a place in the side at the start of the season, but has seen his opportunities decline in recent weeks.

He has not featured in the last three Premier League matches, two times due to a knee injury before he was left on the bench in the 2-1 win over Manchester City.

The rise of Ibrahim Mbaye and Johan Manzambi have reduced Unai Emery's need to throw the academy graduate into the side. The 19-year-old was drafted into the starting line up for the 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup last time out.
