A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Phil Hay relaying injury updates.
The Athletic reporter said that Kalvin Phillips is a doubt for the Whites’ game with Hull City but that he was close to featuring in the match against Boro.
Who will Leeds miss more?
Phillips
Augustin
Meanwhile, Jean-Kevin Augustin has a hamstring strain and will definitely not play against the Tigers.
This has not gone down well with these Leeds fans.
Injury updates from last night – Phillips a doubt for Hull game but was close to playing at Boro. Withdrawn after a fitness test yesterday morning. Augustin has a hamstring strain and definitely won’t be involved at the weekend. #lufc

How has it got worse by not playing? Shame if we’re without our best for the majority of our remaining cup finals

Hows he a doubt for hull if he was close to playing yesterday

How’s that work. Close to play last night but a doubt for a game three days later? Surely he’d be closer to playing the hull game?

What do we think?
Kalvin Phillips has had a good impact on the side since he returned from his ban – as Leeds have drawn one and won two.
The 24-year-old missed out on Wednesday night, but Leeds did win once more without him.
However, these Whites fans want him back in the team soon, and they will hope that he is available for the Hull match.
Augustin has only played 48 minutes since joining from RB Leipzig and this injury could mean he won’t be extending that game time any time soon.
However, Leeds have now won three league games in a row and should feel confident heading to Hull – who are in the worst form across the league over the last six matches.
