Aston Villa’s defender, Tyrone Mings, shares progress on his injury rehabilitation efforts.
The 31-year-old suffered a serious knee injury during Aston Villa’s season opener against Newcastle United last August, forcing him to undergo surgery and intensive rehabilitation. While it’s unlikely that he will feature again this season, there is optimism that he will be ready for pre-season training and can significantly advance his comeback over the summer to be fully prepared for the next season.
Mings recently shared an update on his progress via Instagram, revealing the challenging nature of his recovery journey. Despite the difficulties, there have been positive developments over the past seven months, suggesting steady improvement. Encouragingly, he concluded his post with the phrase ‘Back soon,’ hinting at a potential acceleration in his recovery plan and a return to personalized training sessions in the near future.
Last week, Villa announced that Emiliano Buendia had resumed individual training at Bodymoor Heath following his own knee injury, which occurred shortly before Mings’. Their parallel progress raises hopes for a timely return for both players, offering a significant boost to the team ahead of the summer.
While fans may hope to see them back in action before the current campaign concludes, with Villa’s last Premier League game and a potential Europa Conference League final approaching in May, it’s important to prioritize their long-term recovery. Nonetheless, witnessing Mings and Buendia making strides in their respective comebacks is a positive sign, and their eventual return will strengthen the squad as they aim to regain full fitness.
