Leeds United hit with Kalvin Phillips blow during Middlesbrough clash

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips will miss next weekend's Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Middlesbrough.

The Whites midfielder went into the clash against Jonathan Woodgate's side walking a disciplinary tightrope after he was handed his fourth caution of the season against Blackburn earlier this month, with the cut-off for a ban after five yellows occurring after this weekend's fixtures.

But Phillips was carded by referee Keith Stroud after a late challenge in the 24th minute, for his fifth yellow of the campaign.

Leeds' next fixture is the visit to Huddersfield next Saturday and Marcelo Bielsa's side will have to make do without their influential midfielder.

Gjanni Alioski, who is on the bench for the clash against Boro, is the only other Leeds player currently on four yellows.
