Egyptian International defender Ahmed Elmohamady suggests that the suspension of football could help his club reset and come back fresh.

The Aston Villa man says the suspension of the Premier League is an advantage to his side’s chances of surviving relegation.

Villa are drenched deep in relegation and lie second from bottom having lost their last five matches.

 “I do believe this break could give us a fresh start to play the final 10 games of the season, and give everyone (here) a chance to reset,” Elmohamady told Sky Sports.

“We went through a tough period before the season stopped, and this break would allow the likes of John McGinn, who is a key player for us, get back to full fitness and help us for the final 10 games.

“I do believe we can come back fresh and that this break was needed for us, ready to fight for the remaining games.”

Aston Villa started their campaign on a bright note but soon faded and the games went on. They lost to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final before all the FA announced suspension of all football activities due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Elmohamady and his teammates still have 10 games to salvage their season in the Premier League.
