Latest Aston Villa injury news vs Leeds United – Morgan Rogers update in from England
Aston Villa are waiting on the fitness of Morgan Rogers ahead of their clash with Leeds United.
The Villans are set to face Leeds after the international break as Villa look to build on the 4-0 win against Bournemouth last time around.
Rogers could have been sent off against Bournemouth, but remained on the pitch as he put in yet another excellent performance in claret and blue.
The attacking midfielder has now linked up with the Three Lions, just days after Rogers penned a new contract with Villa.
Unai Emery and Co. will be keeping an eye on an injury issue while Rogers is on international break, among other problems in B6.
Morgan Rogers injury update dropped with England
Rogers has penned a financially beneficial deal with Villa, with the hope that the 23-year-old will stick around in the Midlands.
The Englishman has been linked with an exit in the most recent window after what was a superb campaign in claret and blue.
Interest in his signature has only increased as the former Manchester City youngster continues to thrive on the international stage.
There are questions over whether he should feature during the November break, as he continues to struggle with a reported thigh injury.
Premier Injuries has reported that Rogers could face a late fitness test for upcoming matches, with Villa next facing Leeds United, while Thomas Tuchel has spoken out on the issue.
He said: “‘We need to see because Morgan has a bit of a niggle around his hamstrings. Let’s see how good he really feels and how responsible [it would be] to let him start.
“But the decision is not taken anyway, and it will be taken tomorrow morning.“
Andres Garcia and Tyrone Mings injury update at Aston Villa
Rogers is a concern for the Villans, but still appears likely to feature for the Three Lions in some capacity over the international break.
Tyrone Mings and Andres Garcia represent bigger worries in claret and blue, with both set for more lengthy periods on the sidelines.
Mings went off against Liverpool at Anfield and appears to have a thigh or hamstring injury, with a return date being mooted for early January.
Emery spoke out on the Englishman’s issue, saying: “He felt his hamstring, I think. Hopefully, it is not too bad for the next matches.
“Normally, some weeks he will be out with an injury like that. But tomorrow we will test him and know exactly how much he will stay out of the team.“
Garcia is a curious case, and Emery has said that he is “getting better”, but with a potential return date of 6 December, he won’t be playing a part against Leeds United.
