John McGinn Injury: Undergoes successful surgery

McGinn underwent a successful knee surgery on Tuesday and will miss around six to eight weeks to recover, he posted on his X account. "Surgery went well and I'll be back before you know it."

McGinn suffered a knee injury against Everton that required surgery, which he underwent successfully on Tuesday. Aston Villa's captain will now begin a recovery period that should last between six and eight weeks before returning to the match squad. McGinn is an undisputed starter for the Villains, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting squad, with Jadon Sancho likely seeing greater role in the frontline while he is sidelined if no new player signs during the transfer window.
