Aston Villa are happy to welcome John McGinn back to full training with his teammates.

The Scottish midfielder was a key absence for Villa in the new year, before the coronavirus halted the league.

He has not played since December 21.

But he has recovered from the ankle ligament injury he suffered against Southampton.

Now his boss Dean Smith can call on him as he returns to full fitness, per the Daily Mail.

Premier League clubs have voted to resume full contact training.

It means that full first team training can go ahead, as opposed to the small group training that was previously taking place.
