Steven Gerrard will only restore Tyrone Mings to the Aston Villa side when the defender 'looks him in the eye and shows that he's ready to play.'
Villa's manager stripped the England international of the captain's armband in pre-season and appointed John McGinn in his place.
Mings, 29, was also an unused substitute as Villa lost their Premier League season opener 2-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday.
