Gareth Southgate says Kalvin Phillips situation not 'ideal' Former Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips earned his 28th cap for England on Tuesday night after Gareth Southgate gave him the nod to start in the 3-1 victory over Scotland, despite the Thorp Arch graduate playing only six minutes of club football for Manchester City so far this season.
"He needs to play and is a really important player for us," Southgate said. "We don't have many players who can operate the way he can, we have faith and trust in him, of course people talk about his lack of minutes but Scotland have it with Scott McTominay and we don't have an ideal situation.
Gray has been in the team on merit, however, starting all five Championship games and looking comfortable too with the demands the division brings. His performances have caught the eye of many, not least NBA star Larry Nance Jr. The New Orleans Pelicans and former Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers player is an investor in Leeds United as part of the San Francisco 49ers Enterprises investment group, and so has been keeping a close eye on developments at Elland Road this season.
