Aston Villa boss Smith: Line-up for Wolves must be considered after today's training

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith admits he won't consider his line-up for the derby with Wolves until after today's training session.

Villa host Wolves in the Black Country derby on Saturday.

Smith said, "In terms of the internationals, I expect all of them to be back.

"We will assess if they are available to play or be involved.

"We've had players all over the world we want and expect them back. Douglas Luiz and Emiliano Martinez will be involved. They are big players for us.

"Leon Bailey hasn't ticked all the boxes for the medical department.

"He should be back after the Wolves game, which comes too soon."
