Tyrone Mings left the pitch devastated after suffering a knee injury in Aston Villa's Premier League clash against West Ham.

The centre-back took a blow to his left knee after a tackle from Mohammed Kudus in the first half. After receiving treatment for a few minutes, Mings gingerly walked off the pitch before coming back on.

But minutes later, he pulled up due to the earlier injury while trying to contest for the ball. He picked it up to stop play before signalling to come off. Mings then walked down towards the tunnel covering his face with his shirt.

The 31-year-old suffered an ACL injury on the opening day of last season in Villa's defeat at Newcastle United before returning to action in September earlier this campaign. He started against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup before then playing his first Champions League game in November.

He was the man of the match against Brentford in December and since Pau Torres picked up a foot injury in the 2-2 draw with Brighton, Mings has started the last six matches in all competitions.

Torres is due back in around five weeks time and Villa are pushing to sign a new defender after selling Diego Carlos to Fenerbahce. Villarreal's Juan Foyth is of interest after Loic Bade turned down a move in favour of staying at Sevilla.
