Luke Ayling congratulates Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips on Instagram after England call-up

The 26-man England squad was announced yesterday and Gareth Southgate has once again picked Leeds United midfielder, Kalvin Phillips.

The 25-year-old defensive midfielder has recently returned from a long injury lay-off and started against West Ham and Chelsea.

He is arguably one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, and it seems he is gradually cementing his position in the England squad.

Phillips is enjoying a brilliant season in the Premier League and will go head to head with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice for the central defensive midfielder spot in the starting line-up.
