Latest Leeds vs Aston Villa team news
No Leeds players suffered injuries while playing for their national teams, so the only two players needing monitoring ahead of the Villa game were Sebastiaan Bornauw (knee) and Wilfried Gnonto (hip).
However, Farke stated in the press conference that he had no serious injuries affecting the team, so both players were likely to be available for Sunday afternoon.
Farke doesn't necessarily need to make too many changes despite losing two consecutive matches, but Pascal Struijk could certainly reclaim his place from Jaka Bijol in the defense.
On the opposite side, Aston Villa suffered more setbacks after the international break, with Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, Lamare Bogarde, and Amadou Onana all experiencing problems while playing for their respective national teams.
All four are expected to return to training on Saturday, and Emery confirmed the only player definitely out this weekend is Tyrone Mings, who is expected to be out until 2026 with a hamstring injury.
According to Emery, Andres Garcia could return for the match against Leeds, but Victor Lindelof will be used as an emergency solution at right-back if needed.

Latest football match prediction: Leeds vs Aston Villa
A proper home run is the medicine Leeds needed after two forgettable away games just before the international break, when the newly promoted team conceded six goals and scored only one in two consecutive defeats against Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest.
That single goal came at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on November 9th, when Lukas Nmecha temporarily put Leeds ahead, but Sean Dyche quickly rallied to turn the game around with goals from Ibrahim Sangare, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Elliot Anderson.
Forest's comeback victory meant Daniel Farke's side suffered their fourth defeat in their last five Premier League matches, pushing them down to 16th place in the table, just one point above West Ham United and the relegation zone.
Leeds' fragile defense continues to be a major headache, with the team failing to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive games since their goalless draw with Newcastle United in August. Their record against top-half teams is also abysmal.
Indeed, since their surprise 2-1 victory over Liverpool in October 2022, Leeds have not beaten a team currently in the top 10 of the Premier League; their last seven wins have all been against opponents ranked 13th or lower.
Coincidentally and somewhat eerily, October 2022 was also the last time Aston Villa lost to a newly promoted team in the Premier League; since then they have been unbeaten in all 17 such matches, winning 13 of them.
Aston Villa's early season form saw them languishing in the bottom half of the table, but Unai Emery has helped the West Midlands side stage a spectacular comeback after their poor start.
After failing to win their first five games of the season and scoring just one goal, Villa have won five of their last six Premier League matches, with the exception of a defeat at Liverpool earlier this month.
Emery's men bounced back strongly after their defeat at Anfield with a resounding 4-0 victory over Bournemouth in round 11, climbing into the top six, just two points behind Chelsea – who are in third place.
Aston Villa now face an opponent they haven't lost to in the Premier League since October 2020 – a run of five consecutive unbeaten games – while the last time Leeds beat Villa at Elland Road in England's top flight was in May 2003.
