A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to Marcelo Bielsa’s comments that Kalvin Phillips is set to return to the team after he served a three-game ban for his sending off against QPR.
In the matches that the 24-year-old has not played, Leeds have beaten Millwall 3-2 and then lost to both Wigan Athletic and Nottingham Forest.
Will Phillips' return make a difference?
Yes, he can Leeds together
No, going to need more than just him to stop this slump
This has also led to the chasing pack closing in on Leeds, as Fulham are now level on points, while Forest and Brentford are not far behind, either.
However, the return of Phillips has pleased these Leeds fans.

Good, miss him massively when he’s suspended and nobody to cover for him

Won’t he need time to adapt?

We have certainly missed his presence ?

What do we think?
The return of Phillips could be a big boost for the Whites for their clash with Brentford at Griffin Park.
The Bees have only lost one of their last eight league matches at home and head into this match off the back of a 5-1 win over Hull City and a 3-2 win over Middlesbrough.
Phillips has an average rating of 7.2 this season and his return could be crucial if the Whites are to get anything from this trip to Brentford.
