Leeds will look to forget about last weekend’s drubbing at Old Trafford and look forward towards Saturday’s game with Everton at Elland Road.
Marcelo Bielsa has been speaking in his Pre-match press conference ahead of the game and was of course asked about the fitness of his squad, most notably about Kalvin Phillips.
It was clear that Leeds missed him during the game at Old Trafford as Bruno Fernandes ran riot, scoring a hattrick in the progress. Robin Koch did not look up to the job of replacing Phillips but thankfully Bielsa provided us with some good news this afternoon.
Bielsa commented that Phillips is ‘getting closer’ to being match fit, which does raise the question of whether he will be fit in time for the game against Everton in just 2 days time.
There was some bad news however, as Bielsa says he expects Diego Llorente to be back next week, which would rule him out of making an appearance against Everton this weekend.
