Unai Emery is not known for being an over-the-top manager who steals the headlines by embracing his players.
However, the Spaniard has reportedly taken a even-further-back approach with one Aston Villa player.
Long-term injury absentee Kortney Hause, who suffered a knee injury nearly one year ago, remains very much out of the Villains’ first-team picture.
And according to a recent report from The Athletic, Emery has barely spoken to the stricken defender with the pair little more than professional acquaintances.
