Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from the Yorkshire club.
This comes after the official Leeds Twitter account shared a post on their page relaying quotes from a post from Whites midfielder Kalvin Phillips on his official Instagram page.
After it was recently announced that Phillips would miss the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury in Leeds’ previous Championship match against Swansea City at the weekend, Phillips took to his Instagram page to share a heartfelt message with the fans.
Phillips said that he was ‘beyond gutted’ that he won’t be able to help his teammates on the pitch in their remaining league fixtures, but also added that he is ‘there for everyone off it’.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to share their responses to the post from their club.
Here’s a sample of Leeds fans responding to the post:

All feel the same way @Kalvinphillips. We’ve got to back the boys, you can look back and be proud as you’ve been an integral part this season and we wouldn’t be here if you didn’t play.

The lad has gone above and beyond for us. He battled on in the second half, even though he’d obviously taken a whack. Leeds United through & through. He’ll be first on Coops shoulders if we….#MOT

Phillips has been one of the standout performers in Marcelo Bielsa’s side this season, having earned himself a season rating of 7.22/10 for his displays in the 37 Championship appearances he’s made this season (per WhoScored).
You’ve done everything on and off the pitch for Leeds this season. It will be gutting not to see you out there in the last 3 games. But im sure we can do it and we will all be celebrating at the end. Main thing is though get well and ready for next season MOT

Has Kalvin Phillips been Leeds' best player this season?
Yes

His next game for us will be in the premiership. MOT

It’s such a shame that Phillips won’t be able to play a part for Leeds in their final three league matches this season.
However, the message he put on his Instagram post just goes to show how much he loves the club and wants to see them succeed.
The response to this post from this group of Leeds fans just goes to show how much they admire Phillips for what he has done for the team this season.
