Aston Villa have announced the signing of midfielder Ross Barkley on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The 26-year old had made three appearances for Frank Lampard's side this season, scoring once.
The England international has been at Stamford Bridge since joining from Everton in January 2018.
He will be unavailable for Thursday's League Cup visit of Stoke City, having already played in the competition for Chelsea this season.
Dean Smith's side have won their opening two Premier League games and Barkley could make his debut against Liverpool Sunday.
