McGinn has avoided a serious injury after the knee problem he suffered against BG Pathum, though the club will continue to monitor his condition following further tests, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.
Analysis:McGinn was forced off in the second half after landing awkwardly on his left knee and underwent a scan, with the club understood to be optimistic based on the results. His health is especially important given Villa is already without Amadou Onana for most of the season after his ACL injury at the World Cup, and the club continues working the transfer market to bolster its midfield and defensive options as it finalizes its squad ahead of the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
