Unfortunately, the Aston Villa and England defender has experienced it before. It was not pretty. It was at Bournemouth, soon after becoming their club record signing, that Mings damaged his anterior and medial ligaments minutes into his Premier League debut. That was almost a decade ago now and it sent Mings spiralling into a dark place. He has since spoken of how he sought comfort in alcohol, was consumed by the feeling that he had lost everything, the thought of a life without a football threatening his whole identity. He has told the tale of how he broke down in tears in Eddie Howe's office. Nottingham Forest Aston Villa This time around, older and wiser, he was always going to approach the challenge very differently. "It has been different. I would not say it has been easier. It is just that I have a little more perspective. I have kids now so that always helps," Mings tells Sky Sports . "When I was at Bournemouth, it was a very uncertain time. I was still trying to make my way in the game and trying to prove to the fans that I would be a good signing. So the timing of it was really difficult to take. This time has been difficult for different reasons. Trending "I felt like I was playing well when I got injured. I felt like I was trying to establish myself in the manager's idea and the team were doing well. So it was a tough time to sit out and see other people build on all the work we had put in together over the previous years." Mings has a routine now, one that includes speaking to his therapist regularly, keeping him in the right head space. The days when his extra-curricular activities were counter-productive are over. That energy has been successfully channelled in a positive way.

But there is his involvement with the Tyrone Mings Academy in Bristol, helping to provide fun opportunities for children in the region. And new interests too. Through the PFA, he has taken a global football business management course. "I have really learned about what it means to be a sporting director or a CEO so they will not be new things when I retire. I am certainly not scared of what comes after football." Nor should he be. Mings has always been an articulate spokesman, whether explaining the reasons for players taking the knee in opposition to racism or countering the claims of then health secretary Matt Hancock that footballers needed to give back more. Now 31, he cuts a confident and measured figure. Success will come post-retirement. But there are still ambitions to fulfil on the pitch and he is fortunate that while he was out with injury, Villa continued to go from strength to strength under Unai Emery. The team he returns to is one not only competing in the Champions League but thriving in it, while continuing to claim their spot towards the top end of the Premier League table. As a result, the motivation for Mings is easy. New opportunities keep coming up. "People are always looking for new ideas, new stimuli, so the Champions League has certainly given a different feeling around the club. You see it for the fans at Villa Park or at away games. It is certainly a different feeling and the players feel that as well. "It did not really drive me through rehab as it felt so far away from where I was at the time. I still had a lot of hurdles to overcome to get back on the football pitch. But now I am here and part of it, it is a special time in the club's history and it adds something." Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player For Mings, released by Southampton as a youngster, his mother writing to every club in the Football League in the hope of kickstarting his career only for him to progress the hard way via spells at Yate and Chippenham, it has been an amazing journey. Maybe that makes it that bit more special for him when the Champions League music plays. He has won 18 caps for England, featuring at Euro 2020, but Europe's premier club competition still represents another high, another marker on his route to the top. It is true of a number of Villa's senior players. Ollie Watkins came through Exeter City's academy, making his Premier League debut at 24. Emiliano Martinez was still playing for Reading at the age of 26. One wonders whether it is one of the secrets of their success. "There are a few players with quite a lot of Champions League experience but it is new as a team, it is new as a group, it is new that we are doing it together. Quite a lot of the players also have bought into the journey that we have been on for so long now." He talks of winning a trophy with Villa. "Big on everybody's to-do list here." And the feeling that they can "achieve something special together" - calling this as an "exciting time" and speaking of wanting to replicate Villa's glorious successes of the past. Last month, he made his Champions League debut. It was an inauspicious one, picking up the ball in error to concede the penalty from which Club Brugge scored the only goal of the game. Emery called it one of the worst errors that he has seen made in football. A serious injury on his Premier League debut. A serious error on his Champions League debut. Life keeps throwing things at him. "If there is something that is going to happen, it is usually going to happen to me," he says, insisting that the error did not affect him. "I do not participate in the extreme highs or extreme lows of the emotions in the game. I am fairly level-headed and I am fairly unflappable, I think, in terms of riding those emotions." He then says something particularly revealing about the way he thinks now. "I was not frustrated at what happened itself because mistakes happen. And I think if that was going to happen to anybody, I am happy that it happened to me because I am fairly sure I can cope with it. My next game after that was Brentford I think." Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player He had to wait a month, being an unused substitute for the next four games. But when he made his Premier League return after 16 months out, he was named player of the match in a 3-1 home victory over Brentford that ended a run of eight without a win. "The thing about the Bruges game is that I never came away from that game feeling any differently than what I did when I played against Brentford and got man on the match." It is surely a product of the long hours of work put into shaping his own mentality. "The guy I use has been paid a monthly retainer since 2015," he says of his therapist. "It is less to do with football now, more just about my well-being and about life in general. One of the learnings of my career is to be very calm when things happen in football." He adds: "When the Bruges incident happened, some people did not even bother texting me because they knew I would be fine. I can promise that regardless of whether we win 3-0 or lose 3-0, I will be the same person when the next game comes around." Mings on the challenge of getting back up to speed “I am still in the last 20 per cent of my rehab. Although when players come back from long-term knee injuries, the first game back everybody presumes that you are now back, there are certain things in rehab that you cannot replicate,” he explains. “That is a lot to do with the speed of the game, the decision-making, positioning on the pitch, the repercussions of what happens if you do make that tackle or block that shot. Those are split-second decisions in-game. That is what the final 20 per cent of rehab is. “You can get yourself as fit and as strong and as sharp as possible without games. But this part now that I am in, I think my performances have been good for how long I have been out and I am really enjoying the opportunities when they come.” Every team needs players like that. As for Villa, they are fifth in the Champions League table. One more win would surely take them to the last 16. Beat Nottingham Forest on Saturday and they will move above Man City into fourth spot in the Premier League too. "The most impressive thing last season was balancing the European football to allow us to get Champions League this year. The big challenge again is: how do you balance Champions League games without it affecting your Premier League form? "I think teams historically who have broken into the Champions League have struggled with that due to squad size and emotions and travelling so I think the fact that we have been able to rotate the squad and the manager is very calm as well has helped. "There was a period where we had a few bad results and it felt like everything was going against us but it is time to be calm and see the bigger picture. I think we can be proud of where we sit right now, both in the Champions League and the Premier League." Like the lows, Mings intends to take the highs in his stride. But he has come too far and worked too hard not to enjoy it. "There is a good feeling here. Being back and part of it is just as impressive and wholesome before. I was loving it before and I am loving it now."

Bluff or existential threat? As Trump vows tariffs on all imports from Canada, Mexico and China, leaders wonder if he's serious
Xbox Series X review (2024): Unfulfilled potentialWASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee on Monday accused Matt Gaetz of “regularly” paying for sex, including once with a 17-year-old girl, and purchasing and using illicit drugs as a member of Congress, as lawmakers released the conclusions of a nearly four-year investigation that helped sink his nomination for attorney general. The 37-page report by the bipartisan panel includes explicit details of sex-filled parties and vacations that Gaetz, now 42, took part in from 2017 to 2020 while the Republican represented Florida's western Panhandle. Congressional investigators concluded that Gaetz violated multiple state laws related to sexual misconduct while in office, though not federal sex trafficking laws. They also found that Gaetz “knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct” the committee's work. “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the report said. Before the report came out, Gaetz denied any wrongdoing and criticized the committee's process. “Giving funds to someone you are dating — that they didn’t ask for — and that isn’t ‘charged’ for sex is now prostitution?!?” he posted on X, the website formerly known as Twitter. “There is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve-Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses.” Gaetz , who was first elected in 2017, spent the majority of his time in Washington enmeshed in scandals that ultimately derailed his selection by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Justice Department . Gaetz abruptly resigned from Congress last month. His political future is uncertain, although Gaetz has indicated interest in running for the open Senate seat in Florida. The committee painted a damning portrait of Gaetz's conduct, using dozens of pages of exhibits, including text messages, financial records, travel receipts, checks and online payments, to document a party and drug-fueled lifestyle. The committee said it compiled the evidence after issuing 29 subpoenas for documents and testimony and contacting more than two dozen witnesses. In addition to soliciting prostitution, the report said Gaetz “accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts.” That same year, investigators said, Gaetz arranged for a staffer to obtain a passport for a woman with whom he was sexually involved, falsely telling the State Department that she was his constituent. In some of the text exchanges made public, he appeared to be inviting various women to events, getaways or parties, and arranging airplane travel and lodging. At one point he asked one woman if she had a “cute black dress” to wear. There were also discussions of shipping goods. One of the exhibits was a text exchange that appeared to be between two of the women concerned about their cash flow and payments. In another, a person asked Gaetz for help to pay an educational expense. Regarding the 17-year-old girl, the report said there was no evidence Gaetz knew she was a minor when he had sex with her. The woman told the committee she did not tell Gaetz she was under 18 at the time and that he learned she was a minor more than a month after the party. But Gaetz stayed in touch with her after that and met up with her for “commercial sex” again less than six months after she turned 18, according to the committee. Florida law says it is a felony for a person 24 or older to have sex with a minor. The law does not allow a claim of ignorance or misrepresentation of a minor's age as a defense. Joel Leppard, who represents two women who told the committee that Gaetz paid them for sex, said the findings “vindicate” the accounts of his clients and “demonstrate their credibility.” “We appreciate the Committee’s commitment to transparency in releasing this comprehensive report so the truth can be known,” Leppard said in a statement. At least one Republican joined all five Democrats on the committee earlier this month in voting to release the report despite initial opposition from GOP lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, to publishing findings about a former member of Congress. While ethics reports have previously been released after a member’s resignation, it is extremely rare. On behalf of the Republicans who voted against making the report public, the committee chairman, Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi, wrote that while the members did not challenge the findings, “we take great exception that the majority deviated from the Committee’s well-established standards,” to drop any investigation when a person is not longer a member of the chamber. Guest added that releasing this report sets a precedent that “is a dangerous departure with potentially catastrophic consequences.” But Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey, a Democratic member of the committee, said that for transparency, it was crucial for the public and Congress as an institution to read the findings. "I think that’s important for my colleagues here in the House to know how the committee reviews certain acts," he told The Associated Press. "Some of these were obviously conduct that crossed the line, but some of them weren’t.” Mounting a last-ditch effort to halt the publication of the report, Gaetz filed a lawsuit Monday asking a federal court to intervene. He cited what he called “untruthful and defamatory information” that would “significantly damage” his “standing and reputation in the community.” Gaetz’s complaint argued that he was no longer under the committee’s jurisdiction because he had resigned from Congress. The often secretive, bipartisan committee has investigated claims against Gaetz since 2021. But its work became more urgent last month when Trump picked him shortly after the Nov. 5 election Day to be the nation's top law enforcement officer. Gaetz resigned from Congress that same day, putting him outside the purview of the committee's jurisdiction. But Democrats had pressed to make the report public even after Gaetz was no longer in the House and had withdrawn from consideration for Trump's Cabinet. A vote on the House floor this month to force the report’s release failed; all but one Republican voted against it. The committee detailed its start-and-stop investigation over the past several years, which was halted for a time as the Justice Department conducted its own inquiry of Gaetz. Federal prosecutors never brought a case against him. Lawmakers said they asked the Justice Department for information about its investigation, but the agency refused to hand over information, saying it does not disclose information about investigations that do not result in charges. The committee then subpoenaed the department for records. After a back-and-forth between department officials and the committee, the department only handed over “publicly reported information about the testimony of a deceased individual,” according to the committee's report. The report said Gaetz was “uncooperative" throughout the committee's investigation. He provided “minimal documentation” in response to the committee’s requests, it said. “He also did not agree to a voluntary interview.” ___ Associated Press writer Alanna Durkin Richer contributed to this report.
