Pep Guardiola says Kalvin Phillips is 'ready' for the World Cup. MCFC
Guardiola lauds ‘important’ Phillips return; midfielder ‘nervous’ for World Cup announcementPep Guardiola insists Kalvin Phillips is “ready” for the World Cup, but the Man City midfielder says he is “nervous” about the England squad announcement on Thursday.
Phillips played a crucial role in the Three Lions reaching the final of the European Championships last year and is a big favourite of Southgate. “[It’s been] difficult. When I first found out I needed the operation everything went out the window. I didn’t feel great about the situation. But after a couple of days I always made sure I worked hard. I was always positive. I’m back fit now so hopefully have a chance.
“I think with my injuries I’ve not been playing 100% because of my shoulder. Now it’s sorted I can get back to what I was before. Hopefully it’ll put me in good stead.”
