SOUTHEND United midfielder Harry Phillips is facing three months on the sidelines with a knee injury.

The 22-year-old, who had started the last two games for the Shrimpers, limped off during the second half of Saturday's 2-1 win against Lincoln City.

And Blues boss Sol Campbell now expects the youngster to be sidelined for 12 weeks. 

"Harry has a medial ligament injury," said Campbell.

"That’s going to be three months from start to finish.

"That’s a blow for him because he’s got into the team and was playing really well."
