Oxford United head coach Aaron Ramsey has praised Stan Mills' training performance, as the team prepares for their first League One away trip to Stevenage. The Yellows boss revealed he is 'pleased' with Mills at the end of a week's training, after the winger requested not to play in the team's opening League One fixture last week.
What happened?
Ramsey announced last week that the U's had agreed a deal with Championship side Preston North End for the 22-year-old to move to Lancashire in January, with Mills then missing from the Oxford squad the day after.
Why it matters for Oxford United
The team is looking to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Millwall on 2026-05-02, and a League One standing of 22nd in the final 2025 table, 47 points behind leaders Coventry, with a recent form of 1W-0D-1L.
What comes next?
Oxford United will face Stevenage in their first League One away trip, with Mills available for selection, and Brian De Keersmaecker still catching up on training after a shoulder injury, and Greg Leigh a doubt for the weekend, as the team aims to improve their goal difference of -14, having scored 45 goals and conceded 59 this season.
