Aston Villa winger Moussa Diaby is looking forward to playing in his homeland this week.

The French attacker is set to take part in Villa's Europa Conference League tie against LOSC Lille.

With the game 2-1 to Villa's favor after the first leg in England, they must now navigate a tough away leg.

It's always nice to be back in France," Diaby told reporters ahead of the contest.

I started here with Paris Saint-Germain and I've already played against Lille in this stadium.

I'm always happy to be back in this stadium and I hope we'll play a great game tomorrow. I've got some good memories here."
