Aston Villa’s Danny Ings was unable to face Wolves after becoming a dad overnight

Villa star Ings, 29, had looked set to make his 24th Premier League appearance of the season today.

But his partner gave birth overnight, resulting in Ings being unable to make Gerrard’s match-day squad.

The Villa boss explained: “Danny Ings, I’m sure he won’t mind me saying, has become a dad overnight.

“He’s had very little sleep, he had to go down to London.

“We want to send our congratulations to Danny and his partner.

“It didn’t make sense to ask him to come and be part of today, so that was forced on us.”

Former Burnley, Liverpool and Southampton forward Ings has scored five goals in all competitions this season.

While the identity of his current partner is unknown, Ings previously dated Australian model Georgia Gibbs.

But The Sun exclusively revealed in 2018 that Ings had ditched her for British beauty Ruby Blake, who was once linked to Love Island’s Kem Cetinay.

A pal of Georgia said at the time: “It seems things have died down between her and Danny, judging by his social media activity with Ruby.

“It’s clear he’s been focusing his attention elsewhere.

“She will be upset to see him moving on. But she won’t have much trouble finding a replacement.

“She’s one of the world’s most sought-after models and has an army of fans ready to rally round her.”
