Kalvin Phillips will miss England’s Nations League games against Italy and Germany after suffering a reoccurrence of a shoulder problem, an injury that leaves the Manchester City midfielder racing to be fit for the World Cup in November.
Phillips has been a mainstay for Gareth Southgate, winning England’s player of the year award last season, but has been forced to pull out of the latest squad, for Friday’s game in Milan and the Germans’ visit a week on Monday.
