Leeds concern as Phillips injury described as 'severe'

Leeds United are concerned after seeing Kalvin Phillips forced off during England's 1-1 draw in Germany last night.

Phillips was substituted during the Nations League clash with an injury described as "severe" by England coach Gareth Southgate.

The midfielder had tried to continue after he was caught by Nico Schlotterbeck's knee during an accidental collision.

But just minutes later the Three Lions ace hit the deck again, where he immediately signalled to the bench he couldn't continue.

The 26-year-old missed almost half of the 2021-22 season due to a hamstring injury which limited him to just 20 Premier League appearances.

After the game, Southgate said: "It's not ideal in any way shape or form to lose a really important player after 15-20 minutes.

“Hopefully it's not too bad. It's quite a severe dead leg. It's hard to know how long that will be."
