Speaking on England’s TikTok page, Jack Grealish has claimed that Leeds’ Kalvin Phillips is the player who is most often nutmegged in England training.
The England camp seems to be quite a tight-knit group, and they seem to be having a lot of fun together on international duty, but sadly, it seems as though Phillips is continuously being mugged off.
What’s been said?
Grealish was answering a fan’s question about which player is nutmegged the most often in England training, and the Aston Villa star was adamant that Phillips was the one.
“The player who has been megged the most on the team would have to be Kalvin Phillips. I saw Tyrone meg him the other day in the box, That is not Tyrone’s strong point megging players, so yeah it’s him,” Grealish said.
Hard to imagine
Phillips is usually such a great reader of the game and a fantastic tackler, so it’s hard to imagine that he’s always being nutmegged by the England players.
However, with the likes of Grealish, Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho in the camp, it’s no surprise that even the most talented of defensive players are being torn to shreds.
Hopefully, we don’t see Phillips megged by some of Europe’s best when he represents the Three Lions at the Euros this summer.
