Leeds' injury woes continue as Marcelo Bielsa reveals star midfielder Kalvin Phillips will remain sidelined until next month, while captain Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford are also still ruled out

Kalvin Phillips is set to remain sidelined until early next month, Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa has said.

The England midfielder suffered a hamstring injury against Brentford in early December and underwent surgery later that month.

Bielsa said on Friday morning, ahead of Saturday's trip to Merseyside to face Everton: 'He is expected to return in the first few days of March and his recovery has been going as predicted.'
