Aston Villa boss Dean Smith insists his squad should be deep enough to handle injury absences.

Villa have lost influential duo John McGinn and Tyrone Mings to injury in recent weeks and Smith says the onus must be on others to step up.

“I have a squad of 22 players who I can put in at any given time," he said. “Kortney Hause is a very good player. He has come in with Tyrone being out.

“Marvelous Nakamba, who cost us £10million, comes onto the pitch when John McGinn comes off. We have got good players in the squad. We have to make sure they show it."
