Leeds United and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been confirmed to have sustained a lengthy injury that will keep him on the sideline for a very long time. On Sunday, the England international Phillips suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-2 draw against English Premier League newcomers Brentford and was replaced after 55 minutes of play.
The full extent of the damage is still to be determined, but there are fears that the 26-year-old could be set for an extended absence. Kalvin Phillips missed two games in October after he suffered a calf injury, and now he will be out a couple of months. He is one of Leeds United’s most important players. It would be a significant blow for coach Marcelo Bielsa not to have him available, with games against Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool coming up.
Leeds United is still to reveal the extent of the hamstring injury that forced captain Liam Cooper off against Brentford. Meanwhile, Patrick Bamford appeared to suffer a problem after scoring Leeds’ injury-time equaliser against Brentford at Elland Road. The striker was returning after nearly three months out with an ankle injury. No news has been said about him, though.
