Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe has been ruled out of this weekend's Championship clash against Aston Villa with a hip injury.

Villa make the trip to Elland Road on Sunday lunchtime in the penultimate game of the league campaign.

United remain in the hunt for a top two spot despite a damaging Easter weekend while Dean Smith's side secured their place in the end-of-season play-offs on Monday with a club record tenth victory in a row.
