Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has admitted that he would leave Erling Haaland on the bench when asked to choose between the Norwegian, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham to start, sell or have as a substitute.
Phillips has struggled for minutes at the World Cup, as he recovered from a late fitness scare. The midfielder underwent surgery just six weeks before the campaign in Qatar, as he overcame a shoulder injury a week before Gareth Southgate's squad announcement.
The 27-year-old came off the bench and provided an assist during the 3-0 group stage win over Wales. Phillips again made a late appearance in the round of 16 victory over Senegal, as all eyes now turn to the quarter-final clash against France.
