Kalvin Phillips is on the PR rounds to promote his new documentary, and is opening up on his difficult first season at Manchester City.
He has addressed Pep Guardiola's comments from December that he returned from the World Cup 'overweight', and honestly revealed the emotional strain that his struggles had over the course of the campaign. He also referred to Jack Grealish as his 'inspiration' in making a success of a second season following an underwhelming 12 months.
That is easier said than done, though, with Rodri, Mateo Kovacic, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva all ahead of Phillips in midfield.
