Kalvin Phillips says he has recovered from his shoulder injury, insisting it is “perfectly fine” as he spies a late push to get into England’s World Cup squad.
The Manchester City midfielder has been out of action since September after undergoing surgery in Barcelona following the club's friendly to repair the damage. The 26-year-old is back in full training and has made clear his hopes of earning a place on the plane to Qatar having been in contact with Gareth Southgate following his setback.
Pep Guardiola has revealed Phillips will be in contention for minutes against Chelsea in Wednesday’s League Cup tie. The player admitted that he didn’t expect to be offered game time so soon but was happy to be building up his fitness just in time for the World Cup.
