Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips was substituted early against Swansea City on Tuesday.
Phillips was in action for Leeds against Swansea City away from home at the Liberty Stadium in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
The 22-year-old central midfielder started the match, but the youngster was substituted after just 28 minutes.
Leeds head coach Bielsa has praised the youngster for his professionalism, and has said that he trained well this week.
Bielsa told Leeds Live when asked about Phillips’ reaction since Tuesday’s match: “Normally, he trained as usual. I value and I appreciate his professionalism, his behaviour, when I took this decision, which is not a frequent decision.”
Starting against Norwich City
Leeds will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Norwich City away from home at Carrow Road in the Championship.
It will be interesting to see if Phillips is including in the Whites’ starting lineup by head coach Bielsa.
One should not be surprised if the 22-year-old central midfielder starts the match on the substitutes’ bench, as the West Yorkshire outfit aim to return to winning ways in the Championship.
Leeds will fancy their chances of winning against Norwich this weekend.
