Kalvin Phillips has started just two Premier League games since his move to Manchester City
When one door closes, another opens - a figure of speech that certainly applies to Kalvin Phillips right now.
A place in City’s midfield is up for grabs and this provides a golden opportunity to a forgotten man who, just weeks ago, could have been headed for the Etihad exit. An alarming stat was how Phillips had played more minutes for England than at club level following the Three Lions’ recent 3-1 win over Scotland.
Amid reported speculation, Phillips outlined his desire to stay and fight for selection. Not one to take the easy way out, he proved a man of his word. Fast forward to the present and Rodri’s red card has given Phillips a chance to stake his claim. Guardiola turned to him shortly after the dismissal to shore up City’s midfield.
