Aston Villa vs Leeds United - Aston Villa to make checks on Gary Gardner
Posted Wednesday, December 28, 2016 by PA
Aston Villa will check on Gary Gardner ahead of the visit of Leeds.
The midfielder picked up a knock towards the end of the first half of Monday's 2-1 win over Burton and was replaced by Jack Grealish at the break.
Ross McCormack will face his former club fresh from scoring the late winner on Boxing Day - his first goal in over three months.
Fellow forward Jordan Ayew is pushing for a start after climbing off the bench to set up McCormack's strike.
Kyle Bartley will be fit for Leeds despite needing treatment after their 4-1 win over Preston following a clash of heads with Luke Ayling.
Chris Wood and Pablo Hernandez returned from hamstring injuries as substitutes at Deepdale - the latter hitting Leeds' fourth goal - and should be involved again.
Eunan O'Kane (groin) and Charlie Taylor (Achilles) are also close to returning but the game may come too soon.
A victory for Leeds would see them climb above Reading into third.
