Kalvin Phillips has taken to Twitter to react, after seeing a photo of his Leeds teammate Mateusz Klich on international duty with Poland.

What’s the story?

Well, Poland’s official Twitter account posted a picture of some Polish players in training, where Klich was spotted being a bit unusual.

The £1.5m Leeds man could be seen sitting cross-legged, with his hands together, slightly away from his teammates in what seems to be a yoga pose.

It certainly had Phillips confused, as the England international asked Klich if he was “alright” after seeing the image on Twitter.

You can see what the Leeds No.23 wrote in full below.

Clearly, Klich has found peace after helping Leeds to Premier League survival by the skin of their teeth, following the 2-0 win over Brentford.

The 31-year-old made 37 appearances in all competitions, including 26 Premier League starts, as he played a big role in the survival campaign.

However – in our view at least – Klich could become the first casualty of the Jesse Marsch era at Elland Road.

While Klich seems to be enjoying himself on international duty with Poland, Phillips has also teamed up with England ahead of the UEFA Nations League games.

The 26-year-old is set to appear for the Three Lions as England prepare to face Hungary, Germany and Italy throughout June.

In our view, Gareth Southgate must be careful with Phillips.

The Yorkshire Pirlo – who is said to be a target for Manchester City – has suffered a few injury problems this season, and he must be looked after.

England play four games in the space of ten days, which is, quite frankly, ridiculous scheduling by UEFA.

Hopefully, Southgate doesn’t use Phillips in all of these outings, as that is the last thing he needs after a physically and mentally draining season.
