Where are they now? Leeds United’s XI from Kalvin Phillips’ debut in 2015

Kalvin Phillips and Leeds United have come a long way since he was given his debut in a 4-3 defeat to Wolves back on April 6th, 2015.

A standout player for Leeds as they’ve re-established themselves as a top-flight force, Phillips also become the club’s first-ever representative in a European Championship final as England finished runners-up to Italy at Euro 2020.

He was later named the Three Lions’ Player of the Year and remains among his boyhood club’s most valuable assets, with reports of imminent big-money bids from the likes of West Ham, Newcastle and Aston Villa this summer.

“I didn’t tell you you were playing until the day of the game. Part of me didn’t want you to have a sleepless night but part of me knew you’d just step in and get on with it so there was no need to prepare you in any special way,” the Leeds manager who handed him his debut, Neil Redfearn, recently wrote in The Athletic.

“Did I sense then that you’d be playing in a European Championship final with England seven years later? It would be dishonest to say yes because in any academy there are a lot of elite players. But I knew you were a player, 100 per cent. I knew you’d push yourself.”

But what about the rest of that team? Here’s where they all are today.

Much-maligned during his spell in West Yorkshire, Italian goalkeeper Silvestri has rebuilt his reputation since returning to his homeland to sign for Hellas Verona in 2017.

He helped them get promoted in 2018-19 and has since caught the eye in Serie A. Roberto Mancini even called him up for the Azzurri in October 2020, but he’s yet to receive a senior cap, and he went on to make the step-up to Udinese last summer.
