Kalvin Phillips admits fitness uncertainty after Man City injury and England comeback

Kalvin Phillips admits he is unsure about how he will cope when he finally starts a fixture this season.

After signing for Manchester City this summer, Phillips has struggled with injury and has been limited to four substitute appearances in total - totalling just 53 minutes between them. After playing in the charity match at Barcelona in August, Phillips injured his shoulder and would later require surgery to fix the issue that limited him to just 13 minutes in his first three appearances.

Phillips faced a race against time to be fit for the World Cup, and played 40 minutes in the Carabao Cup against Chelsea just before the England squad was announced, and he impressed for the Three Lions off the bench in their World Cup win over Wales as he sent over a lovely assist for Marcus Rashford's second goal.
