Both Rice and Phillips were impressive for England in their Euro 2020 opener against Croatia at the weekend.

“I thought it was a very good performance by England,” Keane told ITV.
“Very mature, how they managed the game and they mixed their game up well – good short passes then stretching Croatia.
“What they did which was vital was winning the midfield battle. If you win the midfield battle, it gives you a foothold to win football matches. Phillips and Rice were excellent. A very good day for England,” he said.
England’s next game is against Scotland on Friday.
