Leeds United's predicted line-up at Aston Villa with Marcelo Bielsa debating changes

The Whites are starting to see the club's injury crisis ease somewhat following a three-week break from games.

Marcelo Bielsa revealed during his pre-match press conference that Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper had returned to training in recent days at Thorp Arch.

Adam Forshaw, Jamie Shackleton and Charlie Cresswell are back available while Junior Firpo is nearing full fitness after a hamstring issue.

"Cooper and Phillips are in the final stages of their recovery from their operations," Bielsa said on Monday ahead of the trip to Villa Park.

"Firpo is in the final stage of his recovery and he will be available next weekend, or the following one. And Bamford hasn’t improved. He continues with the problem with the bottom of his foot and hasn’t started jogging, so his situation continues the same way."

He later added: "Shackleton, Forshaw and Cresswell are all healthy now. The four players that we still don’t count on are: Firpo, who should be available for this weekend, probably because his injury involved his tendon, we may be cautious with his return.

"Phillips and Cooper who, by the beginning of March, should be fully recovered.

"And Bamford, who has an injury where we cannot predict when he will return because it depends on the pain going away so that he can start jogging again.

"Since the injury started, the pain hasn’t gone away. Of course, he is going through the necessary demanding treatments for the injury that he has."
