Tyrone Mings Injury Update Bodes Well For Aston Villa
Speaking after the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday afternoon, manager Unai Emery provided a Tyrone Mings injury update.
“After the first test we did, I think it is not a relevant injury for a long time,” the Spaniard explained. “Tomorrow we will test again and better. We will know how important his injury is. We are positive.”
Naturally, the news provided by the player himself and Emery will ease the nerves of loyal supporters. Especially at a pivotal point of the 2024/25 season.
After the game, a football injury expert shared a very similar update regarding Mings’ issue. Posting on X under the handle @physioscout, they explained the recovery time should be approximately two weeks at worst.
“High-velocity blow to the left knee brings concern for just a bone bruise/contusion injury. Slight concern for a minor MCL sprain, but that’s about it. Recovery time: If bone bruise/contusion: Less than a week If minor MCL sprain: 1-2 weeks.”
