Kalvin Phillips remains a doubt for England’s Nations League clash with Italy this evening.
The Leeds United midfielder was forced off within 15 minutes of the Three Lions’ draw against Germany on Tuesday, with Gareth Southgate claiming he had suffered “quite a severe dead leg”.
England provided fans with an update yesterday, revealing Phillips was not training with the rest of the group at St. George’s Park and was instead working alone indoors.
With the 26-year-old unlikely to feature at the Molineux Stadium, he could potentially return for the Three Lions’ final match against Hungary on Tuesday.
Phillips has struggled with injuries since the start of the season, missing almost 100 days of with a hamstring problem over the new year.
