Kalvin Phillips vowed to come back fitter in the upcoming season as he plans to join Manchester City’s pre-season training a week earlier.
Speaking to Big Issue, Phillips said, “We’ll probably try and do it again. That would be nice. I’m not too sure how well it will go. But there are very good lads at Manchester City, they are amazing people. I’m going to go in a week early to get my running in and hopefully come back as fit as possible when the training starts.
The former Leeds United midfielder had earlier admitted that he felt bad after Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola called him ‘overweight’ in December last year. Phillips appeared in just 12 Premier League games last time and started only twice. Guardiola had explained that he had failed to adapt to City’s playing style.
