Jesse Marsch makes Kalvin Phillips claim after Pep Guardiola calls out "overweight" star

Jesse Marsch claims Kalvin Phillips dearly misses his Leeds home.

Phillips made the agonising decision for him and his family to quit his beloved Leeds in the summer to join Manchester City in a £45million switch. The England midfielder returned to Elland Road for the Whites' defeat by Fulham in October and he is still idolised by Leeds fans.

He has struggled at City, making just four appearances, mainly because of injury, and Pep Guardiola called him out, claiming he returned from the World Cup overweight. Phillips, 27, hopes to return with City on Wednesday night and Marsch says he left a huge hole at Leeds because he was the heart of the team.
