Unai Emery has given an update on Alejandro Garnacho ahead of Aston Villa's Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest at Villa Park on Saturday (15:00 BST), according to BBC News.
The Villa boss said the Manchester United loanee still "needs time" to fully settle into life at the club, but praised the winger's "positive attitude" as he continues his adaptation to Emery's system.
Garnacho joined Villa looking for regular football after struggling for minutes at Old Trafford, and Emery's comments suggest the club are being patient with his integration rather than expecting instant returns.
The manager also touched on Villa's broader progress this season as he prepares his side for the visit of Forest, though further specifics on team news and selection were not detailed in the pre-match briefing reported by the BBC.
