Aston Villa confirm injury boost with two-word response
The latest Aston Villa news as the midfielder has been out since the summer due to a foot injury.
Aston Villa have been handed an injury boost, with midfielder Jacob Ramsey pictured in training ahead of the Europa Conference League clash against Legia Warsaw.
The Villa academy graduate is yet to make an appearance this season after breaking his metatarsal while on international duty with England U21s during their successful European Championships campaign this summer. Ramsey played in all of the games up until the quarter-final, when he picked up the injury.
The 22-year-old appears to be getting closer to playing again, which would be a great help for Unai Emery’s team. Ramsey has been spotted back out on the grass as Villa make their final preparations before departing for Poland on Wednesday.
Villa merely added the words “Good afternoon” to a photo of Ramsey participating in training that was posted on X (previously Twitter). Fans reacted enthusiastically to that statement on social media.
With 38 games played across all competitions, Ramsey was an important player for Villa last season. In 25 Premier League games in 2022–2023, the midfielder scored six goals and contributed seven assists, including two in the pivotal 2-1 final-day victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Ramsey may feel that the match against Legia Warsaw is coming up too quickly as he works to improve his fitness after missing the preseason due to injury. The Villa player might look to the Carabao Cup third-round matchup against Everton as an opportunity to return to action.
On September 27, Villa will play host to the Toffees in a cup match. Kickoff is at 7.45 p.m. The matchup takes place between home versus Brighton on September 30 and away at Chelsea on September 24 in the Premier League.
