Leeds United will welcome 20 former players back to Elland Road next season but those welcomes will be very different, depending on who returns. Whites supporters aren’t exactly known for hiding their feelings - positive or negative - with the stadium providing a cauldron-like atmosphere for opponents.
Players like Pascal Struijk and Karl Darlow know all-too-well what it feels like to walk out at Elland Road but for the former at least, doing so as the enemy will be new. Darlow has been inside the ground as an opponent but never as part of a Manchester United squad which are sure to receive a special welcome.
Former stars will also be returning to West Yorkshire when the likes of Bournemouth, Arsenal and newly-promoted Hull City come to town. Take a look below to see when those 20 players are due back at Elland Road next season.

Won the Championship title with Leeds during 2019/20, on loan from Brighton. Joined Arsenal in a £50m deal five years ago but fell out of favour during their title win last season. | Arsenal FC via Getty Images

20. Illan Meslier - Arsenal (May 8)
Left Leeds upon the expiry of his contract this summer and made a surprise move to Arsenal. The Frenchman is unlikely to be in goal at Elland Road, however, given he's currently second or third choice.
