This site revealed earlier this week that Phillips, 24, is cycling and doing leg work at the club’s training base as he closes in on a playing return.

“Leeds have got a small squad, that’s how Marcelo Bielsa likes it, it’s why Leeds have been so successful. But when you lose one of your most influential players then of course, it’s going to create a little bit of a void.
“That’s what’s happened, but equally on that, having spoken to people at the club, they were always aware that there was going to be spells where they might not win a game for five or six games.
“Now this is not the championship, where you bounce back every single time immediately. This is the Premier League, it doesn’t happen.
“There’s no issues, it will be expected and they’ll just continue what they’re doing.”
