Aston Villa handed ‘massive’ injury boost ahead of Tottenham clash
Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Unai Emery receives boost ahead of Tottenham clash
Jacob Ramsey has returned to first-team group training ahead of Aston Villa’s trip to Tottenham this weekend.
The 22-year-old suffered a reoccurrence of the foot injury which kept him out for 10 weeks. As a result, Ramsey has only made three appearances off the bench in matches against Legia Warsaw, Chelsea and Brighton.
Prior to the international break, head coach Unai Emery said: “We are patient with them because they are progressing very well. The last step they didn’t do being available to play two or three weeks ago.
Jacob Ramsey we stopped him as well. He had a small injury again. Now we have to do the steps ahead with him being clear that he is going to be coming back 100 per cent in the level we need.”
In a short clip posted by Villa on Thursday, Ramsey is spotted training on the grass along Ezri Konsa and Lucas Digne.
Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings breaks silence on injury with update promise
The latest Aston Villa news as the defender suffered a serious knee injury in the opening day loss against Newcastle United.
Tyrone Mings is in tears after suffering a serious injury during Aston Villa’s Premier League match at Newcastle United.
Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings has sent a message for the first time since reacting to his injury in the hours after it occurred.
The defender faces a long spell on the sidelines. He is unlikely to feature again this season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United on the opening day of the campaign.
Ezri Konsa has stepped up in Mings’ place, his performances earning him a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the current international break. The centre-back was an unused substitute in both games against Malta and North Macedonia.
Mings, meanwhile, is continuing his rehabilitation. Posting on his Instagram story he posted a message reading “Grateful for all of your support. I’ll share an update with you all later today.”
On August 14, just after his injury, Mings posted on X, (formerly Twitter): “I don’t even know where to start but to say thank you for all of your messages of support Villa fans.
From the day I came here on loan I’ve given everything on the pitch, I’ll now give everything off the pitch to come back even better, whilst supporting the team @AVFCOfficial.”
“To the players, fans & staff connected to @NUFC I also want to say thank you. The applause, the messages & the medical support I received on the day was really appreciated.”
He also posted a simple message on Instagram which read: “I’ve come back before & I’ll come back again …” Mings came back from the same injury when he played for Bournemouth in 2015.
