pHowever, in the opening four games in the Premier League the midfielder has been limited to appearances off the bench, with Emery preferring a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/douglas-luiz/Douglas Luiz/a and Boubacarnbsp;Kamara. /p
pAnd this has left Tielemans far from impressed./p
pSpeaking to media during a press conference while on international duty with Belgium, he said: #8220;The situation is not pleasant. I told the manager that I came to Villa to play./p
p#8220;He understands me, but at the moment, he prefers to play with the two midfielders from last season.#8221;/p
pBut Tielemans has revealed he expects his issue to be sorted soon. /p
pHe continued: #8220;He told me that soon, there will be a succession of games and I’ll get more playing time./p
p#8220;I know that answer doesn’t get me anywhere, but what should I do?/p
p#8220;As soon as I get the opportunity, I want to take it. So far, I’ve started once, in the Conference League.#8221;/p
