Jesse Marsch has revealed that Liam Cooper is closer to returning to full match fitness than Kalvin Phillips ahead of tonight's game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, the American has admitted that the England international should feature for at least the final 15 minutes at Molineux.
The duo have been out since December 5 with hamstring injuries, but are both now fit and on the bench as Leeds take on Wolves looking to make it back-to-back victories. Leeds returned to winning ways with a 2-1 success over Norwich City last time out, extending the gap between them and the relegation zone to four points.
Raphinha hasn't been included in the matchday squad after contracting Covid-19 with Jack Harrison replacing him in the starting XI. However, Phillips and Cooper's returns will be welcome as they look to secure Premier League football for a third successive campaign.
