Kalvin Phillips shares he’s aiming for Leeds United return v Leicester City
Kalvin Phillips has been spotted at Elland Road this week as he closes in on a return for Leeds United after his injury.
The Yorkshire Pirlo has been a huge loss for the Whites since suffering a hamstring setback and undergoing shoulder surgery back in December.
A fan has shared that Phillips himself informed those who saw him that he is aiming to return as early as next week against Leicester.
Sharing on Twitter, a fan account “Lee.ds” pictured Phillips at Elland Road coming out of the main reception.
When questioned about the picture, the account replied: “My mate did who works there. Said Kalvin told him he’s aiming to be ready for Leicester.”
Everything crossed.
Now, there is nothing to 100% solidify these claims, but Phillips was working closely with the LUFC Trust on Friday.
Doing all of the charitable work with the food banks around Leeds, someone was bound to ask him about the injury.
It comes after Marcelo Bielsa admitted that his prediction of having his injured players back early in March was looking premature.
Were those mind games? We have never seen Bielsa use them before with a bluff, so we find this very hard to imagine.
Should Phillips be named on the teamsheet or even in the squad next week at Leicester, we would all rejoice, let’s hope that is the case.
We are in desperate need right now, and need a saviour – please, step forward Kalvin.
