Tyrone Mings will miss the rest of the calendar year due to a hamstring injury sustained against Leicester City, as reported by The Daily Mail.

The England international, who is rated at £25.2m on Transfermarkt, was forced off after 23 minutes of the 4-1 loss, having attempted to play on despite the issue.

It has now come out that he is set to be out for a minimum of three weeks.

While Mings has secured the trust of Dean Smith, having made 16 appearances this season, it seems as though he has lost the supporters.

The 26-year-old has made two errors that have led to goals this campaign, which is something fans have picked up on, even if he does average 6.1 clearances, 0.8 interceptions and 0.4 tackles per game, while only being dribbled past 0.1 times.

One fan declared that "he's not a God", while another has claimed that his absence could be a "blessing in disguise".

The fans have also identified the man they feel should be given the opportunity to fill the void left by Mings: Kortney Hause.

The 24-year-old has only played thrice this season, with all of his appearances coming in the Carabao Cup.
