Reuters, NEWCASTLE, England, August 12 – Even worse for Aston Villa boss Unai Emery was his team’s 5-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United, as Tyrone Mings, a vital defender, was injured in the first half.
Following what appeared to be a harmless altercation with Alexander Isak of Newcastle, Mings went down to the ground. Following a protracted stretcher break for medical attention, he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher in the thirty-first minute and transferred to a nearby hospital.
Days prior, Emiliano Buendia of the Birmingham team had a major knee injury that is expected to keep him out for up to eight months. Mings’ injury occurred.

To the joy of manager Eddie Howe, Newcastle scored four goals in the second half to break apart Villa’s defence and send the home team to the top of the table.
