Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips is a semi-finalist in Euro 2020.
The Whites midfielder has had a cracking tournament in helping England reach the last four of the competition, where Denmark await.
The Three Lions hammered Ukraine 4-0 on Saturday night as the Leeds star impressed alongside Declan Rice yet again.
Here’s how Phillips reacted to the win on Instagram:
Oli McBurnie’s Leeds roots are well documented, having been born in the city back in 1996.
And the Sheffield United hitman – a £20 million signing in 2019 – responded to Phillips, writing: “Quite good aren’t u tbf kalv.”
Semi
Gareth Southgate’s side are back at Wembley on Wednesday to meet the Danes.
The Leeds star will be desperate to keep his place but Southgate has a difficult decision.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson came off the bench – to replace Rice, not Phillips – to score a fourth goal in the rout against Ukraine and the further England progress, the more his leadership could be absolutely essential.
Remember, we’re talking about someone who captained Liverpool to a Champions League and Premier League title over the past two years.
Phillips deserves to start, having been a mainstay throughout the whole competition, but it’ll be fascinating to see what Southgate does.
