Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from Whites midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
This comes after Phillips shared a post on his official Twitter page that contained four images of himself in action during Leeds’ recent 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
In his caption, Phillips said that the result against Palace was a “great win” for the team on his 200th appearance for the Yorkshire club.
The midfielder also said that he has “lots of reasons to smile” due to Leeds picking up their first clean sheet of 2021 and that they now find themselves in the top half of the Premier League table.
Phillips also congratulated his teammate Patrick Bamford after the striker picked up his 100th career goal after scoring against Palace.
But, arguably the biggest thing to come from Phillips’ update is the fact that he’s said he’ll be preparing for Sunday’s clash after coming off with an apparent injury.
This post from the Englishman then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were not shy in sharing their messages to the midfielder.
So, what did these Leeds fans have to say in response to Phillips’ Twitter post?
“Players like you all make us proud of be Leeds United fans”
“Leeds legend already”
“Brilliant @Kalvinphillips. No one deserves it more. Class act on and off the pitch”
“Fantastic achievement Kalvin. A true inspiration to all youngsters growing up.”
“Best news of the day”

During his 200 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, the 25-year-old, who is currently valued at £24.3 million, has managed to score 12 goals and provide 12 assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).
