Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has travelled with the squad to face Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League<\/a> on Thursday night, but Lucas Digne<\/a> is unavailable due to the injury he sustained against Tottenham on Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n The left-back suffered a deep cut<\/a> just above his ankle after Kevin Danso followed through on him while clearing the ball inside the box.<\/p>\n Digne managed to carry on until the 82nd minute, but after the match, he posted a picture of his gruesome injury.<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mings has missed Villa\u2019s last three matches due to an ankle problem suffered in the first half of the win over Fulham nearly a month ago.<\/p>\n Pau Torres started against Bologna instead of Mings, in the game where Villa achieved their first victory of the campaign, before going on to win their next four matches.<\/p>\n Against Go Ahead Eagles, Villa are targeting their sixth successive victory in all competitions and their third in a row in the Europa League.<\/p>\n Youri Tielemans remains sidelined with a calf issue, having suffered a setback earlier this month, and could be out for at least another couple of weeks.<\/p>\n Andres Garcia, who hasn\u2019t played a minute this season, also remains sidelined due to injury.<\/p>\n Ross Barkley was not selected in Villa’s European squad for the league phase.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consentWhat is your Go Ahead Eagles vs Villa prediction?
