Jesse Marsch has both positive and negative injury news to contend with ahead of Monday night’s clash against Crystal Palace. Leeds United fans can expect to see the long-awaited return to the starting line-up of talisman Kalvin Phillips after his hamstring injury.
The England midfielder has featured in the last two outings via the substitutes bench but Marsch confirmed his full return ahead of the trip to South London. Ahead of the game, the American said: “He (Phillips) had a really good training week, he’s fully fit, he’s fully fit and we’re excited for him to be back."
Leeds’ other England international, Patrick Bamford, is ruled out. The striker has missed the majority of 2021-22 due to injury but Marsch revealed he could return before the end of the season.
