Tyrone Mings' injury woes returned as the Aston Villa defender lasted just 38 minutes before hobbling off against West Ham on Sunday. Mings had started six games in a row for Villa, after spending 14 months out with a knee injury. The 31-year-old has had an injury-hit career, having suffered long-term injuries in 2015 and 2017.

And, just as it looked like Mings might have put his latest injury behind him, he went down in severe pain on Sunday after a tackle from West Ham's Mohammed Kudus. The England international appeared to twist his knee and was could be seen grimacing, with fans at Villa Park and Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher fearing the worst.
