Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey says he accepts he isn't guaranteed a start,
Bailey struck his sixth goal of the season in their Europa League win at AZ Alkmaar.
"We have a lot of games coming up, a lot of games," he said. It is important to rotate and it is the manager's decision, at the end of the day, to decide what is best for the team.
It is always important to make sure when you are called upon you are ready. That is the life of a footballer.
I have been in the game some years now, so you have to learn. It is hard for a lot of players but you just have to be strong.
When you believe in your ability and know what you are capable of doing, you just have to wait for your opportunity and be ready."
Bailey added: "We are in a good place at the moment. The whole team has a lot of confidence. We have been doing really well. To stay humble and continue working, that is the most important thing.
"The season is long, we are not even into the new year yet. We just have to go back to the drawing board and focus on the next game right as well."
