Phil Hay: Kalvin Phillips still not in full Leeds United training, set for Friday assessment
Phil Hay has shared that Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips is still not in full training despite images shared earlier in the week.
The Yorkshire Pirlo has returned to the grass at Thorp Arch, but it is still individual work that is being completed.
Hay has shared that a major update is set for Friday (11 March), with the medical staff set to assess his progress before his return to the group.
Speaking on the Phil Hay podcast (10 March), the journalist shared the latest despite images shared online this week.
“Phillips isn’t in full training, people have seen photos of him out on the grass.
“But, there is a difference between being out on the grass and doing work individually or doing work with fitness coaches and actually being involved in the full sessions day-to-day.
“Phillips is yet to resume full training, they’re going to have a look at him on Friday, I think likely to say it will be on the other side of the international break.”
Needed.
It would have been a huge boost to have Phillips back before the international break, but it looks as though we will have to wait.
That could also be good news given that if Gareth Southgate had seen him available, he could have called him up and pushed him in games unnecessarily.
Phillips would love to dive straight back into the action, but the images coming from Thorp Arch have clearly come prematurely.
After the huge loss last night against Aston Villa, there is no result that will do other than a win against Norwich.
Marsch will have the lads back into Thorp Arch today, but it will be a light session along with some video feedback and homework ahead of Sunday, and the American must get stuck in.
It would be brilliant for motivation if Phillips was involved.
