Kalvin Phillips won England men's Player of the Year in 2021 as a Leeds United midfielder but has barely featured for Manchester City
While Jude Bellingham rightfully dominated the headlines, a certain former Leeds United midfielder fired a reminder to the rest of English football.
Thrown into a hostile environment, Phillips partnered Declan Rice in a midfield double pivot, a combination which helped the Three Lions reach the Euros final two years ago. Eyebrows were raised when his name was on the team sheet before kick-off but the ex-Leeds man quickly silenced the haters. That is despite England having a side regarded as one of the favourites for Euro 2024 and currently sitting fourth in the FIFA world rankings. Southgate has an abundance of attacking options but other areas, like defensive midfield, are in short supply.
