Kalvin Phillips admits it's been 'very difficult' adapting new squad role at Manchester City but insists joining the Blues is one of the 'best decisions' he's ever made.
Phillips joined City last summer in a deal worth £42million, the combative midfielder leaving boyhood club Leeds United where he had spent 14 years. A first-ever move away from the West Yorkshire club was compounded by a change in stature, the 27-year-old going from an ever-present talisman to a squad player at the Etihad.
A full 90 minutes for England on Thursday evening was more than he has managed in the Premier League all season for City, his five substitute appearances totalling 65 minutes - a consequence of several minor injuries and the issue of having to displace the outstandingly consistent Rodri.
