Marcelo Bielsa has denied suggestions he has fallen out with Kalvin Phillips – but has warned his star man that no player is 'untouchable'.
The Leeds boss started the England midfielder in defence in Saturday's goalless draw at Brighton before moving him back into his favoured position and then hooking him at half-time.
Speaking after that match, Sportsmail columnist Jamie Redknapp said he felt there was 'something not quite right' between Bielsa and Phillips and there is 'definitely a clash'.
But Bielsa maintains that his decision to substitute Phillips for Pascal Struijk was purely tactical - insisting that it would set a dangerous precedent if no player could ever be taken off.
