Kalvin Phillips' brilliant 'Leeds' reply as he showed up for England duties

Former Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips has shown he hasn't shied away from his Yorkshire roots since his summer move to Manchester City during his England international call-up.

Despite having only started twice under Pep Guardiola this season, Phillips was chosen to be part of the 23-man squad ahead of their upcoming EURO 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine.

The official England YouTube channel posted a video which showed all of the players in manager Gareth Southgate's latest side arriving at their training camp at St. George's Park.

With Phillips included, he too made an appearance but managed to stand out as he was the only player featured in the video to be wearing a pair of shorts instead of a longer tracksuit bottom.

When questioned why he was wearing shorts because of how cold it was, Phillips simply smiled into the camera and replied: "I'm from Leeds!"

While the former Whites star might've lost game time on the pitch for his current club, he'll be hoping to add onto his 25 senior caps for England with two more appearances later this week.
