Sky Sports: Kalvin Phillips set for first Leeds start in Premier League in nearly a month
Leeds United are set to welcome some major injury boosts to their squad for the Premier League clash at Norwich on Sunday.
Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that the likes of Raphinha should be available and ready to play after his knock against Wolves last week.
Sky Sports have also shared some major team news, claiming Kalvin Phillips is set to make his first Premier League start in nearly a month.
Writing on their preview of the clash, Sky Sports shared the update that everyone will be expecting at Carrow Road.
“Raphinha – withdrawn during the draw with Wolves on Saturday – is available, while Kalvin Phillips could make his first Premier League start since October 2,” they wrote.
“Junior Firpo is also back in contention after recovering from a muscle strain.”
It starts now.
This is where our Premier League season really starts.
We have been missing players for far too long and injuries have really affected our start to the season and ability to collect points.
Having central defenders, Phillips and Raphinha available should be enough to push for three points consistently and it is simply a must-win game at Norwich.
No one else can play that midfield role like Phillips, and it will be a relief to not have someone shoehorned into that role and struggle.
Norwich are there for the taking, they conceded seven at Chelsea last week and not winning would simply not be good enough.
Phillips starting in the Premier League is brilliant news, let’s hope he can keep up this level of fitness between now and the end of the season.
