Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips is a doubt for Euro 2020. Gareth Southgate is to announce his 26-man squad that he will take to the championships on Tuesday. Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is also a major doubt as he is to have surgery on a knee injury three weeks before the start of the championships.

Kalvin Phillips joins Nick Pope as a doubt for Euro 2020 after he suffered a shoulder injury in Leeds' 3-1 win over West Brom on the final day of the Premier League season.

The 25-year-old midfielder suffered the injury after putting in a heavy challenge on West Brom's Grady Diangana in the final minutes.

As well as picking up a booking, Phillips could now miss the European Championships with England as he left the pitch holding his shoulder.
