Marcelo Bielsa has refused to set a time-frame for Kalvin Phillips's return to first-team action and indicated he could send the midfielder for shoulder surgery if he faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
The 26-year-old England international limped out of Leeds' draw with Brentford last week with a hamstring injury while Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford sustained similar injuries, ruling all three out of Saturday's Premier League trip to Chelsea.
Phillips has been battling a shoulder problem since sustaining the injury against West Brom in May and Bielsa admitted it would make sense to fix the issue if reports of a possible two-month absence prove accurate.
