The Football Association are looking into an alleged stamp by Aston Villa’s defender Tyrone Mings on Reading striker Nelson Oliveira.

Mings currently on loan at Villa Park from Bournemouth appeared to stamp on Oliveira’s face, leaving him with serious wounds on his face.
Reading used the social media Twitter after the game finished in a 0-0 draw:
“Nélson Oliveira has had surgery and is recovering well.”
The defender also used Twitter to express his apologies to the Portuguese forward:
“Feel awfully sorry to Oliveira, I hope he is ok.”
The referee Geoff Eltringham did not discipline Mings at the time and now the FA are waiting to see his report before deciding whether to take further action.
The 26-year-old received a five-game ban for stamping on the head of Zlatan Ibrahimovic while at Bournemouth in 2017.
