Marcelo Bielsa refuses to rush Kalvin Phillips back from injury despite Leeds' star man returning to training... as he confirms Patrick Bamford will miss the next two games with an ankle issue

Marcelo Bielsa is refusing to rush star man Kalvin Phillips back to action despite Leeds’ poor start to the season.

The England midfielder missed last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Southampton because of a calf and hip problem, which also ruled him out of international duty earlier this month.

Fans are desperate for Phillips to return against Wolves on Saturday, with Leeds hovering just one place above the relegation zone with only one league win so far this campaign.
