Kalvin Phillips plans to return early to pre-season training at Manchester City in a bid to revive his career. The midfielder, who joined City from Leeds for £45 million, has struggled over the past couple of years, costing him his place in the England squad. Phillips managed only 15 minutes of football since April and aims to be back at the City Football Academy weeks before manager Pep Guardiola and other non-international players return.

Phillips started just two Premier League matches and four in other competitions during his first 18 months at City. He then moved to West Ham on loan in a bid to keep his Euro 2024 hopes alive, but the stint was unsuccessful, featuring in just three league games and receiving a red card in one. An injury cut short his loan spell in early May, and he returned to City for treatment.

With limited chances at City under Guardiola, another loan seems likely. Despite this, Phillips remains hopeful, buoyed by Gareth Southgate’s comments that no one has taken his role in the England squad. Phillips, with 31 England caps, knows he needs regular play to regain his international spot.
