Harwood-Bellis omitted from Villa's UCL squad

Taylor Harwood-Bellis was omitted from Aston Villa's Champions League squad just two days after signing for the club on Premier League transfer deadline day (Tuesday) from Championship side Southampton. The defender had expressed excitement about playing in the Champions League upon his arrival, but will have to wait until at least the knockout stages to make his European debut for Villa. If Unai Emery's side progress from the league phase, a fresh squad can be submitted which could include Harwood-Bellis.
