Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Leeds vs Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday (kick-off 5.30pm).
Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich is an injury doubt to face Aston Villa.
Klich was substituted in the second half of Leeds' midweek win over Southampton after appearing to injure his back.
Marcelo Bielsa has already ruled both Rodrigo and Kalvin Phillips out of the fixture. The Leeds head coach told reporters they are being cautious with midfielder Phillips after a calf problem, while defender Robin Koch is not expected to return to training until next week.
Jack Grealish will sit out Aston Villa's trip to Elland Road as he continues to recover from a shin problem.
The skipper missed Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Leicester and while boss Dean Smith hopes he could be available for Tuesday's game against Sheffield United, there is no exact timeframe for the midfielder's return.
Right-back Matty Cash is expected to be out for at least another two weeks with a hamstring injury. Defender Kortney Hause (foot) and forward Wesley (knee) remain on the sidelines although both are close to a return.
