da roleta： Leeds United beat Reading 1-0 on Saturday, but the three points have come at a price.
da bwin： The Whites’ fanbase were very worried in the first half when Kalvin Phillips was substituted after struggling with injury.
You can understand why they were concerned, Phillips is arguably the team’s most important player, and he has previously been hailed as the best player in the Championship.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem as if his injury is that bad as Phil Hay provided us with the latest on him.
What’s been said then?
The journalist tweeted what he saw at full-time, and it’s a very encouraging sight.

“Phillips on the pitch at full-time and walking about quite happily which is a very good sign. Will see what Bielsa says about him shortly,” Hay tweeted.
Brilliant news
Some United supporters thought that losing Phillips could derail their season, but it doesn’t seem as if they need to worry about that.
Phillips was walking around with no crutches, no cast and seemingly no problems.
Now, it’s not 100 per cent confirmed that the midfielder is fine, but it doesn’t sound as if his injury is one that will keep him out for a while.
If the Whites had lost the 24-year-old for an extended period it could have had a real impact on their promotion hopes.
We’ve recently seen how poor the Yorkshire outfit are without the holding midfielder as they picked up just three points from a possible nine in the games that came immediately after his red card against QPR last month.
His influence on the pitch has been tremendous. He’s won 1.9 aerial duels per game this term, as well as winning an impressive 2.8 tackles each outing on average. It’s clear that Leeds need him in their ranks.
Hopefully, Bielsa’s star man won’t miss too much football.
