Former Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has ensured he remains true to his Yorkshire roots in Qatar by taking plenty of Yorkshire Tea in his suitcase. Phillips and his England teammates are set to face Senegal this evening as they look to secure a place in the quarter finals of the World Cup.
The 27-year-old has been somewhat of a bit part player in comparison to his exploits at the EUROs almost 18 months ago, but did mark his first appearance of the tournament against Wales with an assist for Marcus Rashford. He had been struggling with a shoulder injury in the weeks prior to the World Cup but remains a consistent figure in Gareth Southgate's squad.
Phillips was speaking on the 'Lions Den' ahead of this evening's clash with Senegal, revealing he has brought plenty of teabags along with him to Qatar, before explaining how tough he feels the game will be.
