Kalvin Phillips and Ben White play-fighting and a rubber chicken in England training

Kalvin Phillips and Ben White have once again stood out at the centre of England’s last training session before they kick-off with Croatia.

The former Leeds United team-mates have been reunited by Gareth Southgate this summer as a part of his England squad for Euro 2020.

Pictures and video from the camp at St George’s Park have already been dominating social media with their close bond resumed.

Fresh footage was made available on Saturday morning of the team’s final session in the East Midlands before heading down to London for their tournament opener with Croatia on Sunday at Wembley stadium.

In it, White and Phillips can be seen laughing and joking together as they make their way out onto the pitches, with the latter even throwing some fake punches at the Brighton & Hove Albion defender.

Later, the entire squad took part in a strange exercise involving a rubber chicken as they warmed-up for the main part of the session.

Split into two teams, one side had possession of the chicken and had to tag an opponent with it, but while only being allowed to pivot on one foot.
