“He’ll handle the occasion fine” – Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard on Lucas Digne returning to Everton after leaving Goodison Park (Video)

Lucas Digne made his way from Everton to Aston Villa earlier this month after an apparent disagreement with now former Toffees boss Rafa Benitez.

On Saturday, the French left-back is set to face his old club at his old home, and manager Steven Gerrard believes Digne will handle the return well.

🗣 “He’ll handle the occasion pretty fine, I’m sure the Everton fans will appreciate Lucas [Digne], he done everything he can for that club.”
