Maatsen recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-0 defeat versus Brighton.
Analysis:Maatsen registered one shot, one cross and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-0 defeat at Brighton, struggling to contain Brighton's right flank throughout a first half where his side were completely overrun and unable to provide any meaningful attacking output from the left side. The Dutch left-back faces competition for his starting role with Matteo Ruggeri pushing for opportunities, and Sunday's difficult display may accelerate a change in that position if Villa's defensive shape does not improve quickly heading into a testing run of early-season fixtures.
