Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has assured Kalvin Phillips he will play the majority of games in midfield.
Phillips was fielded at centre-back last week in defeat to Tottenham.
Ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton, Bielsa said: "At Leeds his natural position will be at defensive midfield that the place where you most see his qualities and I will attempt that he will play the majority of his minutes in that position.
"He was our best player in the moments that corresponded with him playing alongside Liam Cooper and Diego Llorente following Harry Kane when he dropped deep.
"We spoke about who could adept best when Kane does drop deep and it was Phillips."
