Mings avoids FA ban for 'disgusting' Oliveira clash

Tyrone Mings will not face punishment from the Football Association (FA) following an incident with Nelson Oliveira that left the striker with facial injuries, Reading have confirmed.

Mings, who is on loan at Aston Villa from Bournemouth and was making his debut for the Championship club, landed on Oliveira's face with his studs during Saturday's 0-0 draw.

The Portuguese forward, who was bleeding heavily after the clash, was taken to hospital and his partner Mel Oliveira wrote on Instagram on Monday that Mings ought to "get a lengthy ban".

However, Reading confirmed in a statement released via social media that Mings will not be charged by the FA.
