'He's back' Leeds United fans react to Kalvin Phillips starting against Crystal Palace

Kalvin Phillips made his return to the Leeds United line-up to face Crystal Palace. Jesse Marsch made just one change to the side that beat Watford over a fortnight ago.

Robin Koch dropped to the bench with Mateusz Klich the man to partner Phillips in midfield. Whites' fans were pleased that Phillips was fit enough to start having had a 16 day break since their last game.

Marsch has named as close to his strongest line-up as he possibly can, given injuries to Patrick Bamford, according to some fans. While others questioned Daniel James starting up front.

Here's what Leeds United fans have had to say on social media:

@RobinKochProp5 tweeted: "What a team."

@The_Swell_Shark said: "Nervous, but barring Lord Bamford that is the strongest team we've probably been able to put out all season. I just hope all parts turn up. If they do, we should be alright... Great to see Kevin Phillips back."

@_HevaBell_ tweeted: "Brilliantly great to see a full squad of course we miss Patrick but hey great squad and bench good luck lads."

@LeeWhitfield said: "Kalvin’s back, lets go boys!!!"

@yeboahbaloon tweeted: "Would have loved to see Gelhardt up top over James, but twas ever thus."
