Marcelo Bielsa provides updates on Kalvin Phillips, Rodrigo & more ahead of Leeds vs Southampton

Leeds vs Southampton

This latest batch of Premier League fixtures will draw to a close on Tuesday evening.

The clash in question will see Leeds and Southampton face off at 6 PM UK time.

Both sides will head into the tie with little to play for.

The pair, as things stand, are languishing in mid-table, unlikely to be sucked into a relegation scrap, but also with little chance of securing a European berth.

Leeds are more in form than the Saints at present, but Takumi Minamino and Danny Ings will likely get some joy against the Whites’ shaky backline.

Bielsa provides Leeds injury update

Ahead of tomorrow’s tie, meanwhile, Marcelo Bielsa held his pre-match press conference on Monday.

During the presser, the Argentine provided a team news update on his squad.

First, Bielsa confirmed that Kalvin Phillips, who has missed the Peacocks’ last two league outings with a calf injury, remains unavailable:

“Kalvin Phillips is not available for tomorrow’s game.”

Elsewhere, Bielsa provided updates on Rodrigo, Diego Llorente and Gaetano Berardi:

“Rodrigo Moreno is also out, but Diego Llorente is back. Gaetano Berardi is evolving, the same as Ian Poveda.”

The Leeds boss was also drawn on Southampton’s poor recent run of form:

“Every team has a bunch of negative results. 

“The only teams that don’t have this problem are the ones who occupy the first few positions in the table.  

“The teams in the middle of the table who have not as big squads, when they’re missing four of five players like everyone else, they have to opt for youngsters to make subs during games.  

“This presents a different reality.”
