Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted a 26-second video of Kalvin Phillips working on his shoulder at Thorp Arch.

The 25-year-old suffered a shoulder injury during the 3-1 win over West Brom on Sunday, which initially led to fears about his chances of playing at EURO 2020.

However, in an official statement, Leeds wrote that they were confident of their No.23 being available for selection by Gareth Southgate.

Now, after watching the footage released by Leeds, that appears to have been a wise prediction.

The video in questions shows Phillips doing a number of exercises to test how far he can push his shoulder.

We see the 7-cap England international lifting weights on his injured side and running out on the grass – in truth, he looks good to go.

You can see Phillips grimacing slightly while doing some exercises.

However, with England’s first group game not until June 13th, he should have plenty of time to spare for the pain to go away.

Now, this is great news for Leeds and England.

The midfield maestro looks set to play a big part at EURO 2020, as Southgate has taken a liking to him.

Phillips has featured heavily in England’s recent games, and played 90 minutes against Poland in the last international fixture.

It will be great for Leeds fans to see one of their own out there, especially after Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison were sadly left out.

Let’s see what the Leeds fans on Twitter have been saying about the footage…
