According to a subject-matter specialist, Unai Emery has been given a concerning injury update regarding one of his best players, which has caused Aston Villa to lose some momentum over their last two games.
Aston Villa’s form stalls in January.
Aston Villa lost 3-2 to Manchester United on a cool night at Old Trafford after giving up a comfortable two-goal lead. Despite their amazing start to the Premier League season, Emery’s team appeared disoriented in the second half.
The Villans, who were expected to finish in the Champions League spots, now have to overcome their first minor setback of the season after losing to the Red Devils and drawing at home to Sheffield United. Fortunately, the January transfer window presents a great chance to bolster their already strong roster.
With the midseason transfer window approaching, it appears like Aston Villa has made strengthening their front line a priority. According to sources, they are interested in signing Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who they think they can get for £5–10 million. In the summer of 2024, the Nigerian international’s contract at King Power Stadium expires. Meanwhile, Timo Werner, an attacker for RB Leipzig, is being watched in the West Midlands.
Concerns over injuries may also lead Emery to want to bring in more players when it was revealed that Lucas Digne may need to miss some time due to an injury he sustained during his team’s loss at Old Trafford. The Spaniard might now be in for more unpleasant news.
Tyrone Mings’ injury update for Aston Villa
Dr. Rajpal Brar, an expert in injuries, told Aston Villa News that Tyrone Mings’ injury is “more significant than previously thought” as the England international continues to recover from a serious ACL issue. Mings has been out of action for a long period.
“First of all, I just want to say how glad I am to see Mings being so open and candid with his recovery, the good and the bad,” Brar said to the source. When players suffer serious injuries, this is frequently what supporters miss and are unaware of, so whenever a player displays this aspect, it makes them seem even more relatable to the fans.”
Regarding recovery, it’s important to note that the injury appears to have been more serious than first believed, therefore the time frame will be extended. He’s still in the early stages of his mobility and mild strengthening exercises.”
The former Bournemouth player, who was once called “fantastic” by former manager Steven Gerrard, has only made one appearance this season. It appears that he will be out for some time as the Villans attempt to continue their bid for Champions League football.
