Leeds United injury list and return dates as Jesse Marsch's squad edges closer to major returns

Jesse Marsch has spoken to the press on Wednesday ahead of his first home game as head coach of Leeds United.

The American saw his side perform well in their first game under his leadership but they still fell to a 1-0 loss at the King Power Stadium. Marsch was unable to call on Diego Llorente for the game, although he has revealed that the Spanish centre-back will be back involved against Aston Villa on Thursday. There is also a decision to be made over whether Adam Forshaw will come into the starting XI with the midfielder now fully fit, after only being deemed able to play from the bench last weekend.

Patrick Bamford was also involved in the squad on Saturday but the striker did not play as he was only fit for ten minutes and Leeds required all their substitutes before that. Marsch has stated that Bamford will 'for sure' play on Thursday, although he will not start.
