Aston Villa recall keeper Matija Sarkic from Livingston following injury to first choice Tom Heaton

Aston Villa have recalled goalkeeper Matija Sarkic from his loan spell at Livingston.

The 22-year-old has moved back to the English Premiership side following an injury to Villa's first-choice stopper Tom Heaton over the festive period.

Sarkic made 18 appearances for the Lions, keeping seven clean sheets, and earned a senior international debut for Montenegro during his time in Scotland. The goalie made his league debut for Livi in their 2-0 victory over Celtic in October and held on to the starting position ever since.

Livingston now have Ross Stewart, who had started the season as first-choice, and veteran Gary Maley as the only goalkeepers in their squad.
