Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says Villarreal defender Juan Foyth fits the bill as they search for a new centre-back. Villa are looking to add to their squad before the end of the January transfer window as they are low on numbers following Diego Carlos’ move to Fenerbahce and Pau Torres’ injury.

Villa hope Mings' injury is not too serious but it leaves Emery, who last week saw Diego Carlos sold to Fenerbahce with Pau Torres already sidelined with a broken foot, facing a defensive crisis heading into Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Celtic.

Ollie Watkins started the game in attack for the visitors before being joined by Jhon Duran, but Unai Emery admitted his move backfired
