Following Aston Villa's 2-0 victory over West Ham United, Amadou Onana specifically praised the returning John McGinn and Yuri Tielemans. Captain John McGinn scored in the first half to give his team the lead, marking his second goal in four days since returning from injury.

Yuri Tielemans, returning from injury, came on as a substitute in the second half of the Premier League match, helping Aston Villa secure three points and bringing the team to three wins in four games across all competitions.

Amadou Onana spoke highly of his teammates' performance and expressed his delight at their return to Aston Villa's starting lineup. He praised John McGinn, saying, "John McGinn is a complete player, capable of both defense and attack, excellent at both shooting and passing; he's a high-level player."

"Everyone knows how good Yuri Tielemans is. I miss him a lot, and so does the team. John McGinn's return will bring a fresh feel to the team and enhance our offensive threat."

Amadou Onana delivered an outstanding performance against West Ham United, controlling the ball in midfield five times, the most in the team. One of his key passes came in his own half, finding Morgan Rodgers. Rodgers immediately launched an attack, and although his shot was saved, Ollie Watkins followed up in the 68th minute to score Aston Villa's second goal, securing the victory for Unai Emery's team.

Amadou Onana had an outstanding performance, completing five of his seven tackles, winning eight of his twelve duels, and boasting a 95% pass completion rate. Onana added, "I felt like it was a great day, but it's just my job. The club brought me here to do these things, and I try to do my best every week. After I make a tackle, I pass the ball to Morgan Rodgers, Emiliano Martinez, and the other teammates to finish their tasks."
