"At the moment we are considering possibly loaning him to an Italian club, but nothing is sure about that yet so I don't have anything to report.
"I didn't want to use him tonight just in case the loan goes through because for Aquilani this year it's very important that he plays regular football, every week as the number one man on the team sheet.
