Aston Villa have received a major boost after one of their most popular players was spotted back in full team training, giving supporters plenty of reason to be excited.
The defender has endured a difficult period with injuries in recent seasons, but his return to the training ground is a welcome sight for both the coaching staff and Villa supporters.
His experience, leadership and physical presence could prove valuable as the season continues.
The development will be particularly encouraging for Unai Emery, who has been dealing with several changes to his squad.
Having an experienced player back available gives the manager another option at the back and could provide much-needed depth.
The player in question is Tyrone Mings, who has become a firm favourite among Aston Villa supporters since arriving at the club.

Mings has played an important role during Villa’s rise under Emery, and his return could not have come at a better time. Supporters will now be hoping he can remain fit and build up his sharpness ahead of the club’s upcoming fixtures.
Seeing Mings back involved with the first team will undoubtedly excite Villa fans, who have been waiting to see the experienced centre-back back on the pitch.
If he can regain full fitness, his return could give Emery another important weapon as Villa look to improve their performances and compete on multiple fronts this season.
