Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips believes Italy's midfield will provide England with their sternest test yet as he prepares for the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.

Italy boast an extremely well-balanced midfield trio of Jorginho, Marco Verratti and Nicolo Barella as the heartbeat of Roberto Mancini's side.

Phillips said: “I have played against Jorginho. [Hes's] an amazing player, especially for Chelsea. A player who is very good on the ball, using his body to get away from people. There are going to be a lot of different challenges that Italy are going to cause us.

“Verratti is an amazing player as well. I have always admired Verratti. With their two midfielders it is as difficult as it gets. We know it is going to be a very tough game. To come up against those two midfielders is going to be hardest test we've had."
