Kalvin Phillips told Leeds United exit could hamper World Cup chances

Former Premier League midfielder Dietmar Hamman believes Kalvin Phillips' move from Leeds United to Manchester City could hamper his World Cup chances.

Leeds-born Phillips departed Elland Road this summer, ending a 12-year spell at his hometown club. The Premier League champions signed Phillips last month for a fee in the region of £45 million.

Since making his England debut in September 2020, Phillips has become a crucial member of Gareth Southgate's side. He now has 23 Three Lions caps, but former Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder Hamman believes Phillips' move could 'harm his chances' of going to the Qatar 2022 World Cup in November. The midfielder was named on the bench as City opened their Premier League season with a win at West Ham on Sunday.
