GAME LOG

Workhorse throughout midfield McGinn started in 27 of his 34 appearances while notching one goal on 31 shots and four assists on 31 chances created to go along with 60 crosses in the Premier League.
Impact McGinn saw yet another season as a regular sight in the Aston Villa midfield, with the midfielder covering nearly every spot in the midfield to fill whatever role the club needed him to play in. This would lead to a decent statline for the Scottish player, earning five goal contributions, although that was five fewer than last season. He is on contract for another two seasons and looks likely to continue seeing solid time as he remains fit and a utility piece that could be used nearly anywhere on the field.

Provides assist in win McGinn assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 win against Fulham.
Impact McGinn assisted Youri Tielemans' goal with a well-placed corner kick early in the match. He helped control the midfield and facilitated transitions between defense and attack. He was strong on set pieces and finished with four crosses and three corners, the last one being a season high. The assist was his fourth of the campaign and he is now one away from matching his career-high mark from 2020 with the Villains. He will look to equal that total on Saturday against the Cherries.

Impact McGinn sparked a comeback Tuesday that fell just short. Shortly after his side fell down four goals over the tie, McGinn assisted Youri Tielemans' goal in the 34th minute to cut that deficit to three. He then scored an outside-the-box strike in the 55th minute off a Pau Torres assist to cut it down to two. Despite an Ezri Konsa goal right after, Aston Villa were unable to complete the comeback and were eliminated from the UCL. He finished his debut UCL campaign with three goals, two assists and three clean sheets across 10 appearances (nine starts).

He struggled in the attack with only one chance created and a cross, although he did add two tackles won, three interceptions and three clearances in the defense. He still hasn't seen a league goal contribution since Dec. 21, with only three assists this season.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Sees 17 from bench McGinn (hamstring) appeared for 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham.
Impact McGinn finally made his return to the playing field after four matches out due to a hamstring injury, with the midfielder finding a spot on the bench Sunday. He would see 17 minutes of play, although he was pretty quiet in his time on the field. Either way, this is good news, as he has started in 21 of his 24 appearances this season and should be expected to return to his starting role now that he is fit.

Impact McGinn is fully back training with the group after training individually last week, another improvement in the midfielder's health.

Impact McGinn is getting back on the pitch in training, but remains a week or more away from a return still. His next chance to play would be in Champions League action against Monaco. That said, a Jan. 26 clash with West Ham might be a more realistic target.

Impact McGinn still needs some time to work on his fitness before he thinks of a return, probably another week or two. This comes after missing the past week and a half due to a hamstring injury, missing one game in the process thus far. That said, he will likely miss another week or two of action, hopefully returning near the end of the month.

Impact McGinn's injury does not appear to be a good situation, with the club expecting the midfielder to miss several weeks. That said, he likely won't return until February, depending on his evolution. Jacob Rasmey is a likely replacement for the club's captain moving forward, as he did replace him after going down injured Saturday.

Registers assist McGinn assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.
Impact McGinn was one of Aston Villa's only sources of creativity in their defeat to Nottingham Forest. In 90 minutes played, the Villa captain tallied one assist, created a joint-match high four chances, had six touches in the opposition's box, and completed four of his five crosses. The assist was McGinn's second of the Premier League season, and Villa will depend on his attacking threat this Saturday against Manchester City.

Pedestrian in Juventus tilt McGinn drew two fouls, won one of one tackle and generated two shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.

It was his first start since Sept. 21 after he missed three matches with a hamstring injury. He also recorded another shot on target, created one chance and took one corner before he was subbed off in the 66th minute for Jaden Philogene.
OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
On bench against Fulham McGinn (hamstring) is on the bench during Saturday's match against Fulham.
Impact McGinn returns after missing the last three matches due to injury. The midfielder is a regular starter when fit, but will be eased back into action from the bench Saturday.
OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Training normally McGinn (hamstring) is in full training ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to manager Unai Emery. "McGinn is training normally with us and he's feeling good."
Impact McGinn is coming back from a hamstring injury and trained in full throughout the break. The extra two weeks of training and recovery is a good sign that the midfielder should be back straight away. When fit he's been a huge part of the starting XI, with Leon Bailey taking over for him at left wing in recent weeks.
OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Forced off injured McGinn was forced off the field in the 46th minute of Saturday's 3-1 win against Wolves due to injury.
Impact McGinn was an early exit from Saturday's match, having picked up a knock at the end of the first half that would see him exit the field immediately after halftime. It is unknown what exactly he is dealing with, but they will hope it is minor, as he has started in all five matches to open the season.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Assists in Tuesday's win McGinn assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win against BSC Young Boys.
Impact McGinn made his Champions League debut Tuesday and did not wait to make the most of it. He set up Youri Tielemans' opening goal in the 27th minute, marking his first goal contribution of the campaign. He also put in nice work defensively in the clean sheet as he won one tackle, intercepted one pass and made two clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.

Mainstay in midfield McGinn started and appeared in 35 games, registering six goals on 40 shots and four assists on 44 chances created to go along with 74 crosses.
Impact McGinn maintained the starting role he had held with the club since the 2020/21 campaign, having started in every game he was available for, only missing out three times due to injury. It was the club's captain's best season to date, as he was not only influential with his playmaking skills across the field but also registered a new career-high for goal contributions in a season, notching 10, with his next best being eight in a campaign. He extended his contract until 2027 last season, so the midfielder is here to stay. He will hope he can have the same success he had with Villa this season in Euro 2024, as he will be an integral piece to the Scottish squad.
JUNE 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not at his best in win over Cherries McGinn generated two shots (none on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 win versus AFC Bournemouth.
Impact McGinn was not at his most effective Sunday. He is usually Villa's main playmaker, but the goals and danger all originated from the attacking line of Leon Bailey, Moussa Diaby, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins in front of him. The Scots international has been a strong performer for Villa, he has contributed two assists and a goal from his last five games.
