Kalvin Phillips has been praised as one Gareth Southgate’s “very good” options in the England engine room ahead of Euro 2020.
Roy Keane addressed the midfielders Southgate had decided to take to the tournament in his 26-man squad during ITV’s coverage of England’s friendly with Austria.
In looking at the injury situation with Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson, Keane said the midfielders Southgate had included were impressive in his eyes.
“The player options are very, very good, but of course you’re always worried about one or two injuries going into it particularly if he’s thinking of getting Jordan Henderson involved,” he said.
“The fact we’re not seeing Jordan tonight, I know he’s on the bench, you’d think he would have needed minutes tonight and at the weekend.
“There are some very good players in there. The worry for Gareth if is they get any more injuries. If these two players can’t contribute on the pitch they are a huge loss.”
