PLYMOUTH Argyle have been told that Kaine Kesler-Hayden has been recalled from his loan spell by Premier League title challengers Aston Villa to be involved with their first-team squad.
Argyle director of football Neil Dewsnip has also confirmed that a replacement for the 21-year-old defender will be announced by the Pilgrims in the near future! He received a phone call from Aston Villa's head of emerging talent and loans, Adam Henshall, at around 6.30 pm Saturday night to inform him that they were exercising a recall option in his loan deal Kesler-Hayden had started in the 1-1 Championship draw away to Huddersfield Town before being replaced at right wing-back by Joe Edwards in the 65th minute.
Unai Emery's Villa side are currently in third position in the Premier League, just three points behind leaders Liverpool, and KeslerHayden will provide competition for right-back and Poland international Matty Cash.
Dewsnip told Herald Sport: "The reason Kaine has been recalled is to be part of Aston Villa's first-team squad. I am assured he is going nowhere else. We are already well down the line to finding a replacement for Kaine in the near future, but I can't tell you the name at the moment."
