Starts in Super Cup final
McGinn is in the starting XI for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: McGinn's summer took a scare on August 4 when he landed awkwardly on his left knee during Aston Villa's pre-season friendly against BG Pathum United, an injury mechanism that initially raised fears of ligament damage. Scan results and the updates in the days that followed pointed to a lucky escape rather than anything serious, and he was back in training ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain. His inclusion in the starting XI now confirms he came through that recovery fully fit, a significant boost for Villa given his role as the talisman of their midfield, especially with Youri Tielemans having left the club. He was a key contributor last season, finishing with five goals and four assists in 30 Premier League appearances in 2025-26, and added a goal in three games for Scotland at the 2026 World Cup.
Trains at Bodymoor Heath
McGinn (knee) trained at Bodymoor Heath Tuesday morning after missing Friday's friendly against Bayern Munich due to injury, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.
Analysis: McGinn is expected to be fit for the start of the Premier League season but remains questionable for Wednesday's Super Cup final against PSG. His return to training is another encouraging step in his recovery, and his availability is significant given his role as the talisman of Aston Villa's midfield. McGinn scored five goals and delivered four assists in 30 Premier League appearances in 2025/26 before scoring once in three games for Scotland at the 2026 World Cup.
