Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips took to Instagram to express his shock at being nutmegged by Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish in training.
The Villa man posted a clip on his Instagram story of him nutmegging the Leeds midfielder during a Rondo session on Monday.
As soon as it happened, the Leeds man jokingly chased the Villa playmaker with a big smile on his face.
But Phillips posted this following message on his Instagram story, in response to Grealish getting the better of him:
“Can’t believe this guy megged me in the boxes,” said the Leeds man – he added the message with a laughing and face-palm emoji.
If picked to play against Denmark on Wednesday, Grealish will be hoping to show off some of his skills in one of the biggest games in England’s recent history.
Given that the Three Lions are yet to concede at Euro 2020, Phillips will, more than likely, keep his place in the starting XI, alongside his defensive partner in crime, Declan Rice.
The duo have been unsung heroes in the middle of the mark and they have kept out some serious quality individuals at bay, including Toni Kross and Luka Modric.
As for Grealish, he has only started once this tournament, but he did come off the bench to change the game against Germany.
It remains to be seen whether Gareth Southgate will change his forward line again and bring in Grealish’s talents.
Or afford himself the opportunity to use the expert ball-carrier’s game-changing abilities from the bench.
