​Bielsa confirms injuries to Leeds stars Cooper, Phillips

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa admitted that stars Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper suffered serious injury blows.

The duo were taken off the field against Brentford during a thrilling 2-2 draw at the weekend.

Leeds salvaged a point in the game through a 95th minute equalizer from striker Patrick Bamford.

"At the moment I do not know nor how long they will take to recover," the Argentine said post-game.

Cooper came off in the 14th minute of the game after an injury to his right leg following a tackle, while Phillips could not make it beyond the 55th minute with an issue he sustained shortly before half-time.
