Aston Villa have confirmed that Villa Park academy graduate Andre Green has been recalled from his loan at Preston and will be going to Charlton until the end of the season.

A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on Andre Green being recalled to Villa Park from Preston North End before being sent out to Championship rivals Charlton Athletic.

The 21-year-old Villa academy graduate had linked up with the Lilywhites back in August, but he only made six appearances for them – four substitute appearances in the league and two starts in the League Cup.

Given Green’s serious lack of game time, Villa have therefore made the decision to recall him, and immediately loan him out to Charlton, who recently lost the services of West Brom loanee Jonathan Leko to injury.

Green made 22 appearances for Villa last season, either side of a loan spell with Portsmouth, as Dean Smith’s charges won promotion back to the Premier League via the Championship playoffs.

Here is what some Villa fans said on social media regarding the update on the Solihull-born ace:

Green will not be available for Charlton’s game at Swansea City on Thursday, but could make his debut in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie against the Baggies.
