West Ham midfielder Phillips suffers another setback

West Ham midfielder Kalvin Phillips has suffered another setback.

The Manchester City loanee will miss tonight's Europa League quarterfinal first-leg against Bayer Leverkusen due to injury.

Hammers boss David Moyes explained: “He kicked the back of one of the boys' legs and we think he's just tweaked a bit of his lower hamstring at the back of his knee.

“I don't think it's long-term but it only happened yesterday so I'm not quite sure."

Phillips has struggled since joining the Hammers in January.
