Three Leeds United players who will improve with Kalvin Phillips' return

Leeds United will be provided with a massive boost in their pursuit of staying in the Premier League when Kalvin Phillips returns from injury this weekend. The 26-year-old has been out since December 5 with a hamstring issue but could be back on the pitch as the Whites host Southampton.

Phillips was named on the bench to face Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, however, Jesse Marsch opted not to use him as he remained as an unused substitute. Team-mate Liam Cooper was also back in the squad at Molineux, having recovered from an injury he suffered in the same game.

Although he didn't feature, it is understood that the England international may be ready to play some part in Saturday's game and he could be a major factor in whether Leeds stay in the top-flight. So, with that mind, LeedsLive have taken a look at three players that will improve when Phillips returns.
