Tyrone Mings

Mings missed a major part of 2024/25 with a knee injury suffered the prior campaign. His absence was felt at times, particularly in matches where Villa struggled aerially or lacked left-footed balance in defense. Now back to full fitness and with his contract freshly extended, he'll again be pushing for a place in the starting XI. If he regains his sharpness and confidence during the pre-season, he could compete for a starting role and provide a boost to Villa's physical and organizational presence at the back where clean sheets could be plentiful.
