Kalvin Phillips has revealed Luke Ayling's reaction when he found out that Phillips was called to England squad for the EURO 2020. England begin their campaign on June 13 with a game against Croatia.
Phillips was named in Gareth Southgate's final 26-man squad ahead of the tournament.
"It's a surreal feeling," Phillips told the media at the weekend.
"I got a message from my Leeds team-mate Luke Ayling who just went out and bought his England shirt with my name and number on the back. It's a weird feeling because I never thought I'd be in this position, but to be here is a surreal feeling and I'm just happy to be here."
"I cant express how much my family have been involved in my footballing in life and my life in general," he added.
"My grandma passed away sadly, but my mum, my girlfriend and my sister - all the women in my family have been very supportive of me and I'm forever grateful and I'll try and make them proud."
