The situation of Kalvin Phillips at Manchester City has caught the attention in the world of football, as the English midfielder has opened the door to a possible departure from the club due to his lack of playing time in Pep Guardiola's team. The midfielder, who arrived at Etihad Stadium in the summer of 2022 in a transfer that amounted to 50 million euros, has dealt with a series of obstacles that have limited his impact at the club since he was signed. Between injuries and form problems, the international has barely had the opportunity to stand out in the starting eleven.
The current season has presented an even more challenging panorama for Phillips, as he has only participated in three games as a substitute, despite Rodrigo Hernández's three-match suspension. What surprised many was Guardiola's choice to prioritize Rico Lewis, an 18-year-old, over Phillips in the important match against Arsenal.
