Aston Villa supporters have been left surprised by claims circulating online that club captain John McGinn has been suspended and banned from playing.
However, there is currently a reliable confirmation that McGinn has been suspended. Recent records show that the midfielder has been a regular starter for Aston Villa in the 2026/27 Premier League campaign. He also captained Villa against Nottingham Forest on September 12 and featured in their Champions League victory over Club Brugge on September 8.
