Whites duo named in Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season

Cooper and Phillips selected.

Leeds United duo Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips have been named in the 2018/19 EFL Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season, as chosen by the 24 managers and head coaches in the division.

Captain Cooper has made 30 league starts for the Whites this season, with the centre-back skippering the side to victory in 17 of those matches.

The defender has been at the heart of the Leeds defence throughout the campaign, leading from the back, with the Whites keeping 12 clean sheets when he has been in defence.

Phillips has excelled for Leeds in a deeper role this season, which has brought out some scintillating performances from the 23-year-old.

Traditionally through the campaign, Phillips has sat in the holding role in front of the defence, but has also covered at centre-back, playing beyond his years.

Phillips has made a total of 35 Championship appearances for Leeds this season scoring one goal.

Everyone at Leeds United would like to congratulate Liam and Kalvin on this achievement.
