Speaking to media earlier today, the Leeds manager confirmed that he wants to use Ben White in that position this weekend as a cover for Phillips.
He said: “We are working with [Ben] White on this position, he is going to substitute for Kalvin. It’s a new position for him, but he has the skills to play there.”
White has been outstanding at the back for Leeds this season and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the midfield.
Phillips is a key player for Leeds United and the Whites will surely miss him at the weekend.
