It's fair to say that Kalvin Phillips probably hasn't played as much football as he would have liked to since joining Manchester City.
City parted with £42m to bring the holding midfielder across the Pennines from Leeds United, but so far this season he has not started any of City's competitive games. Phillips would have been under no illusions about his role in the squad when he signed his contract - Rodri is the undisputed starter at the base of midfield - but he might have expected to feature a little more.
However, City needn't worry about the England star kicking up a fuss or falling out with Pep Guardiola about his lack of minutes on the pitch.
