A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet showing Kalvin Phillips and the Leeds away end on Wednesday night.
The 24-year-old was deemed not fit enough before the game against Middlesbrough, but still found time at the end of the game to go over and thank the travelling supporters, who gave him a fantastic reception.
Is Phillips your favourite Leeds player?
Yes, he is Leeds through and through
No, I prefer other players
This footage has gone down brilliantly on Twitter with these Whites fans.

What do we think?
Judging by this footage, Phillips is adored by these Leeds fans, and it is good to see that even though he was injured, he made the effort to go out and see the Whites supporters.
Phillips has had a good season so far for the Whites, earning an average league rating of 7.18 from WhoScored and seeing his Transfermarkt value increase from £7.2m (June 2019) to £13.5m (February 2020).
Phil Hay said that the 24-year-old is a doubt for the match against Hull City, but it seems these Whites fans will hope he pulls through and is available to face the Tigers.
