The Scottish international has been out since December after fracturing his ankle against Southampton earlier in the season. Now that McGinn has finally returned to training with his Villa teammates, this has opened the door for lots of Villa fans to share their joy with this latest news.
More than a boost. An in form John McGinn can add desperately needed quality to the midfield. We can pick up points with him.

What do we think?
It’s great to see McGinn so close to his full recovery after spending so long on the sidelines. Before suffering his injury, McGinn was one of Villa’s best performers with a current season rating of 7.26, which made him Villa’s second-highest rated player in their squad (per WhoScored). Himself and the rest of the Villa fans will now be hoping that the midfielder can help the team get some points on the board as they aim to avoid relegation this season.
