Makes bench Saturday Phillips (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Phillips is back on the bench Saturday, but it's unclear if he's ready to take part in the match given Marcelo Bielsa's recent comments. There's a chance he comes on at the half and gives Leeds a boost, but that's hard to bet on.

Back in training, remains doubtful Phillips (calf) is back in training but manager Marcelo Bielsa may not rush the midfielder back for Saturday's match against Wolves. "He's healthy, but he hasn't competed for three...

Impact This is a massive update on Phillips, as it appears Bielsa won't rush him back into the starting XI despite his importance to the side. It's a bit surprising and it won't help Leeds if Phillips doesn't see the pitch Saturday against Wolves, as Pascal Struijk could again get a start for them.

Out against Southampton Phillips (calf) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Southampton.

Impact Phillips was a doubt entering Saturday's match and he's not well enough to play, forcing Leeds into some midfield changes. The hope is that Phillips will only miss one match and in the mean time, Pascal Struijk moved back to the starting XI as a defensive midfielder.

Hopeful to play Saturday Phillips (calf) "has chances of being able to play" Saturday against Southampton, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa. "Like I said, he has possibilities to play, and we will decid...

Impact This isn't an overly confident update on Phillips, but he's played through minor issues in the past. The hope is that this was only a muscle tweak and he won't further damage his calf. Still, nothing is guaranteed with muscle injuries and there's a chance Pascal Struijk enters the XI if Phillips is unable to go Saturday.

Out of national team with calf strain Phillips has withdrawn from the English national team because of a calf strain.

Impact The injury is reportedly minor for Phillips, which is great news for Leeds fans. The problem is that Marcelo Bielsa rarely gives notable injury updates, meaning there may not be an update from the team in the next two weeks. The defensive midfielder has gone a full 90 in every match for Leeds since missing the opener due to a lack of fitness, a game they lost 5-1 at Man United.

Creates two chances in draw Phillips had one shot not on target, two chances created and two tackles (one won) in 90 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Phillips was back in the squad Saturday and well enough to go a full 90. Despite him being back, Leeds still had some issues in the back, something that's expected to get better as the season moves along. Phillips took 57 corners last season, but a lot of those were prior to the arrival of Raphinha.

Could start Saturday Phillips is "closer to being in the team" after "another week of work," according to manager Marcelo Bielsa ahead of Saturday's match against Everton.

Impact Phillips stayed on the bench in the opener, partly because the match was over early in a 5-1 loss. Phillips has been training for close to two weeks, so there's a decent chance he'll be back in the starting XI Saturday, taking the spot of someone like Robin Koch or Pascal Struijk.

Impact Phillips had less time in training than most of his teammates, but he's arguably the team's most important player and if ready, he'll be in the starting XI Saturday. For now, that's expected to be the case after starting 27 matches last season and 37 the campaign prior in the Championship.

Gritty against Italy Phillips took one off-target shot, had one interception and two clearances and won seven duels in Sunday's 3-4 loss to Italy on PKs.

Impact Phillips provided his usual hustle in the midfield, making plays especially in the defensive phase. He has been one of the unsung heroes of the tournament and played in every minute. He finished with one assist, four shots, nine tackles and seven interceptions in seven matches. Unless a bigger team snatches him up, he will continue having a pivotal role for Leeds next season.

Takes two shots versus Denmark Phillips had two shots (off target), two crosses (one accurate), one chance created, three tackles (one won) and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 extra time win over Denmark.

Impact Phillips delivered another solid performance in the middle of the park. He had some vital plays and touches on both sides of the ball. The holding midfielder isn't a fantasy force but could give you some numbers in multiple categories on both sides of the ball and could be a perspective cheap option to fill in a fantasy lineup. He also does get some offensive looks on occasion and has already one assist and three shots in his six starts.
