Aaron Danks has damaged his silence on John McGinn after opting to leave the Aston Villa captain to Brentford last time.
McGinn, 27, had started each and every Villa match in all competitions under Steven Gerrard, who appointed the Scottish foreigner as captain this summer.
However, McGinn fell through interim boss Danks for the game against Brentford, in which Villa recorded their third win of the Premier League season after a dominant 4-0 performance at Villa Park.

Speaking to Villa TV ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Newcastle United, Danks spoke about McGinn’s situation and praised the midfielder’s “professional” attitude. “John is a super professional and, more importantly, he’s a super human being and a wonderful person. “Danks said.
“John’s reaction was still nothing positive. He entered the game excellently, as we had planned.
“It allowed us to finish the game very strong and finish with the power we started with. Training this week has surely been without problems.
That’s why he brought what he brought to this club for a long time; That’s why the fans respect him as they do and that’s why his teammates respect him so much.
