Tyrone Mings is expected to return to full training at Bodymoor Heath shortly
Tyrone Mings can’t wait to continue playing his role in Aston Villa’s rapid rise after missing last season through a serious knee injury.
The centre-back suffered a devastating ACL injury in the first half of Villa’s opening league game against Newcastle last year, but has made strong progress in his rehabilitation considering the nature of the setback. He played all but one of the 25 Premier League matches which Emery took charge of in the 2022/23 season following his arrival in November 2022.
Villa are hopeful that Mings could be available as early as the end of next month and is due to return to full training shortly.
“I’m super excited to get back playing, to see what the season holds,” Mings said on VillaTV. “I’m so proud of the players to finish fourth in the Premier League and to be part of it this season will be a special, special moment.
“What an amazing turnaround and trajectory the club have been on and will continue to be on. The manager has been first class, it’s so exciting as a player, for a player thinking of coming to Villa, it’s such an easy sell. Everything is gearing towards being a successful period in Villa’s history.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the manager and his staff while I’ve been injured. They’ve been absolutely first class, so thankful for the support they’ve given me, the messages from the fans.
“I’m just looking forward to getting back on the pitch and contributing to successful times here.”
