Jacob Ramsey returns to training following injury

Jacob Ramsey has returned to training following a lengthy spell out through injury.

The midfielder has been missing for six weeks but posted a series of pictures on his Instagram of him training with his teammates earlier today.

He was the only player missing from the win over Manchester City and although Newcastle will most likely come too soon for the lad from Great Barr, a place in the squad against Brighton may be more realistic.

Ramsey picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat to Liverpool six weeks ago just before the international break and has been missing ever since.

The 23-year-old has had a torrid 18 months with various injuries. It all began when he picked up a metatarsal fracture while on international duty with the England U-21s in July 2023. He had a re-occurrence of the injury in March while playing for Villa and has since struggled to remain fit.

I am sure along with Villa supporters, Jacob and manager Unai Emery will hope the midfielder can remain fit for a while now and he can return to the form he was in during the 2022-23 season.
