Kalvin Phillips' Leeds United absence blow underlined by key pressing statistic

Kalvin Phillips' role in the Leeds United team can almost be described as irreplaceable and his recent absence has been a blow after picking up a hamstring injury last month.

The 26-year-old had be taken off in the 2-2 draw with Brentford on December 5 last year and he hasn't been available since, missing the last six matches as a consequence.

Marcelo Bielsa revealed that Phillips is set to be out until March, which means that the Whites won't have him for at least the next five games, including this weekend's important clash with Newcastle United.
