Aston Villa fans have expressed their delight on Twitter after Villans duo Tom Heaton and Tyrone Mings were included in the latest England squad.
This praise came after the official Aston Villa Twitter account shared a post congratulating the pair after the announcement was made on Thursday.
This tweet then led to a number of Villa fans commending the players on their latest international call up.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans congratulating Mings and Heaton:

Gareth Southgate’s England are set to play against Montenegro and Kosovo in the upcoming round of qualifiers for the 2020 Euro’s (BBC Sport).
What do we think?
With Heaton having played every minute for Villa in the Premier League so far this season, he is a good option to have for the goalkeeper position for England.
For Mings, his impressive defensive stats this season would have been a big factor in his inclusion to the squad. Similar to Heaton, Mings has played every minute of Premier League action for Villa this season. In 11 League appearances, Mings has totalled an average of 7.3 clearances and 2.3 blocks per game (per WhoScored). As for the unlucky Grealish, Southgate did admit he very nearly included the 24-year-old in the squad.
