Kalvin Phillips suffers head injury during Leeds Christmas party

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has suffered a head injury during the club's Christmas party.

The England midfielder joined his Leeds team-mates for an authorised pre-Christmas do following their 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.

While partying at nightclub Cirque Le Soir, it is understood Phillips hurt his head and required treatment, says the Daily Mail.

Despite the incident, the 25-year-old was passed fit to train on Tuesday and is expected to be available for Saturday's match at Brighton.

Phillips' all-clear will come as a major relief to boss Marcelo Bielsa, whose side sit just two points and one place outside of the bottom three.
