Kalvin Phillips took to social media to apologise to his Leeds United teammates and the club’s fans for being sent off against Nottingham Forest on New Year’s Day.
Phillips, who was deployed in central defence against Forest, was handed a straight red card in the 42nd minute of the Championship match.
Leeds went on to suffer a 4-2 defeat, meaning that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have lost their last two in the league, although they still top the table.
Phillips has been outstanding for Leeds this season, but there is no question that his red card played a big role in his team losing at Forest.
After the match, the Englishman took to social media to apologise to his teammates and the fans for mistiming his tackle on Adlene Guedioura.
The Leeds supporters were quick to rally behind the 23-year-old though, and that is certainly fair when considering just how impressive Phillips has been this season.
