da bwin： One of the main takeaways from Leeds United’s 1-0 win over Reading on Saturday was Kalvin Phillips’ injury, but what many may have missed was an issue for Kiko Casilla.
da leao： The Spaniard finally got a bit of praise from the fanbase after weeks of criticism, but unfortunately, he picked up a problem over the weekend.
What’s the latest?
Indeed, Phil Hay confirmed after the game that the Spaniard had injured his finger against the Royals, but there is still no word about how bad that injury may be.

Of course, a finger problem wouldn’t usually be too big of an issue for a footballer, but it’s a little bit different if you’re a goalkeeper.
Many eagle-eyed supporters at the weekend pointed out that Illan Meslier warmed up at half-time, and the journalist confirmed that this was due to Casilla’s injury.
It’s never good to see one of your highest-paid players affected by such an issue, but Leeds are in a strange position where it may not actually matter too much.
Impending ban
It may sound a bit daft to say that an injury to a man who has played every league minute this season won’t be important, but Leeds may have been facing a spell without Casilla in any case.
The Spaniard’s FA hearing over his racism charge is underway, and it’s been widely reported by reputable journalists that the most likely outcome is that he’ll be found guilty.
If their prediction comes true, the former Real Madrid man will be slapped with a minimum six-game ban, meaning that even if he was fit, he wouldn’t be able to play.
Any key player getting injured isn’t ideal, but Leeds are rather lucky in that they were preparing for life without Casilla before he was struck by this issue.
