Ex-Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips handed World Cup warning after Man City struggles

Kalvin Phillips has been warned he could go to the World Cup and not play a minute. The former Leeds United midfielder has struggled with injuries since making the big switch to Manchester City in the summer.

Fresh from an impressive Euro 2020 tournament with the Three Lions, Phillips managed just 20 Premier League appearances for the Whites, with injuries impacting his game time. That disruption to his campaign coincided with Leeds' struggles domestically.

Phillips made the reported £45million move to the Etihad in the summer, but has managed just one Premier League appearance to date. The lack of game time has seen Jude Bellingham emerge as Gareth Southgate's preferred partner for Declan Rice in the heart of the Three Lions' midfield, with Phillips expected to be on the bench.
