Leeds Unite's Kyle Bartley

The centre-back will miss the televised clash at Villa Park through injury and is set to be replaced by Liam Cooper as Leeds bid to climb to third in the table.

Bartley needed treatment during and after Monday’s 4-1 win over Preston North End following a clash of heads with right-back Luke Ayling in the second half.

Head coach Garry Monk said afterwards that the collision would not prevent Bartley from featuring against Villa but the online Swansea City player has been omitted from tonight’s 18-man squad.
