News about Kalvin Phillips

Kalvin Phillips faces an awkward situation on Sunday regardless of what happens when Manchester City take on West Ham in the final game of the season.   Phillips has only made four appearances for Man City this season - all of which have come from the bench - and featured for just 89 minutes of what looks set to become a fourth title-winning campaign in a row.  Premier League rules state that players who make five appearances have to be awarded a winners medal, and each club is given 40 to hand out. 

EXCLUSIVE BY CRAIG HOPE: Leeds United will have to raise close to £100million in player sales if they fail to win promotion to the Premier League, with Crysencio Summerville the most likely departure. Sources close to top-flight clubs expect a fire sale at Elland Road should they remain in the Championship next season. Daniel Farke's side entertain Norwich in their play-off semi-final on Thursday evening after a goalless first leg. We have been told it would take significant sales approaching £100m to offset continued operating losses which, in the latest set of accounts, totalled £106m, reduced to £34m by the transfers of Kalvin Phillips to Manchester City and Raphinha to Barcelona. 

Kalvin Phillips has reportedly picked up a mystery injury which looks to have ended his time on loan at West Ham United. The 28-year-old midfielder joined the Hammers on loan from Manchester City in January in a bid to show off his value to Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2024, but he has struggled with the east London side.  And now it seems that he has played his last game for West Ham, which probably spells the end of his hopes of making the cut for the England squad this summer.

Jarrod Bowen faces a late fitness test to decide if he will play a part in West Ham's Europa League quarter-final clash against newly-appointed Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Bowen missed last week's quarter-final final first leg and the defeat to Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday with a back injury but took part in full West Ham training on Wednesday alongside Kalvin Phillips and goalkeeper Alphonse Areola

Leeds are ready to explore an initial loan move to bring Kalvin Phillips back to the club if they can secure an instant Premier League return. Phillips, currently on loan at West Ham, will return to Manchester City at the end of the season when the current Treble holders will look to sell the midfielder on a permanent deal. City want £30million for Phillips having signed him from Elland Road in 2022.

JACK GAUGHAN: Manchester City are devising a plan to give Rodri some much-needed rest after the midfielder admitted tiredness in the wake of Tuesday's pulsating draw at Real Madrid. Rodri had held discussions with the Treble winners over his workload last summer but has since made 47 appearances for club and country this season.

MATT BARLOW: After a fruitful year in the FA Youth Cup, no club will know the wellbeing of its academy, but for the casual observer, a prestigious tournament is always a useful barometer. Leeds United have reached the final for the first time this century and face Manchester City, a dependable force since the Abu Dhabi takeover. They are prestigious academies, with 26 out of a total of 26 in English football bestowed with Category One status, but the Youth Cup this season will be regarded as a triumph for those struggling for survival in the undergrowth.

SIMON JORDAN: Kalvin Phillips was the subject of fans' ire last weekend and responded in a sarcastic, albeit human way. Phillips exacerbated the situation by sticking his middle finger at a key West Ham backer. I'm afraid that unless you want to defend or excuse the sarcastic fan, you could say all about being a professional footballer.

MATT BARLOW OF THE LONDON STADIUM: MATT BARLOW, a former Tottenham Hotspur player, has not returned to the Olympic Park in the past. The last time they met here was the inaugural game of Jose Mourinho's tenure, with Amazon cameras following the scenes to see if his special powers would extend to rekindling Dele Alli's fire. They didn't do it, as it turned out. They arrived in Stratford for the short distance, with Adam Peaty leading a parade of hopefuls for the Paris Games up and down the pool in the nearby Aquatics Centre. Spurs fired Spurs back into the top four this season, and Aston Villa's heat on Wednesday against Manchester City was hoping that the arrival of an Olympic year would work in their favour, this time.

SAMI MOKBEL: Spend time in Phillips' company, and it's abundantly clear that public speaking isn't something that is natural to him. Not in a polite manner. His skepticism and humility are particularly endearing. Those charming qualities were accentuated that afternoon; almost as if he was embarrassed to accept the award or that he was undeserving. That couldn't be further from the truth; Phillips' swashbuckling performances with Declan Rice in the heart of England's midfield at the delayed Euro 2020 fascinated the world.

On-loan midfielder Kalvin Phillips needs their help, not abuse, according to David Moyes, who has enraged West Ham supporters. Following the loss of 4-3 Premier League to Newcastle, Phillips' miserable loan stint at West Ham hit a new low on Saturday. The 28-year-old was caught on camera clearly giving a middle-finger salute to supporters who had mocked him as he boarded the team bus. But Moyes refused to condemn Phillips' behavior and pleaded for the London Stadium audience to get behind the England international. 'Kalvin's a human being and can do things that we all do in difficult situations,' the Hammers manager said.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES PARK: They may have saved it if they had not signed another midfielder, Kalvin Phillips. Both actors are making news. One for football betting and the other for betting on a West Ham career revival. Both of them are on to a good cause. The more Tonali is missing, the better a player he obviously becomes. The more Phillips plays, the worse it gets. Newcastle looked to the Manchester City outcast to fill the hole when they lost their £52 million marquee summer contract to a 10-month betting ban in October.

Leeds United is said to be considering a transfer to re-sign Kalvin Phillips if the club does not win promotion back to the Premier League this season. Phillips made 234 appearances for Leeds over the past 12 seasons, with the midfielder playing a key role in the club's promotion winning season in 2019-20. Phillips made his name as a central figure in the England squad at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup, as well as earning a £42 million move to Man City in 2022.

Following their 4-3 loss at Newcastle, Kalvin Phillips retaliated angrily to being called 'useless' by a West Ham fan. He flashed his middle finger as he boarded the team bus. David Moyes, the Hammers' manager, admitted that his decision to call on Phillips despite his team's 3-1 win at St James' Park "did not work." Michail Antonio was replaced by the Manchester City loanee after 21 minutes of playing. When the incident occurred, the midfielder, who is on loan at West Ham from Manchester City, was boarding the coach back from Newcastle.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: David Moyes admits he was wrong to bring on Kalvin Phillips, with West Ham leading 3-1 at Newcastle, but he refused to criticize the replacement after the 4-3 loss. When the Manchester City loanee replaced Michail Antonio, there were 21 minutes to play. He forfeited a penalty for a foul on Anthony Gordon in the 77th minute, from which Alexander Isak scored, but Harvey Barnes converted him for the goal that gave the home team's victory in the 90th minute. After that, Moyes tried to explain his change.

Newcastle came from 3-1 down to defeat West Ham 4-3, with one hammers fan surprisingly surprised in the slightest after seeing Kalvin Phillips enter the game. Phillips arrived minutes after Jarrod Bowen had given the visitors a two-goal lead, and the Magpies retaliated with a two-goal penalty and a brace from Hsrvey Barnes. And one supporter predicted what would happen next.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Here was an exciting game of many aspects, but the tale of two impact subs perhaps cut through the mayhem. Harvey Barnes and Kalvin Phillips. The England midfielder, who is expected to be a world citizen on this occasion, has no doubt made an impact. In the 90th minute, he gave up a penalty for 2-3 but was not close enough to creator Alexander Isak for 3-3 and was turned away by scorer Barnes for 4-3. If the home supporters had not sent the roof into orbit, it would have caved in on Phillips. Barnes scored the equalizer and, like Moyes, Eddie Howe's replacement had changed the game, even though it was enforced when Miguel Almiron was hospitalized ten minutes after going forward.

The Premier League returned with a bang and then some as a seven-goal thriller at St James' Park got the weekend's action underway, with the hosts winning by a stunning 4-3 victory. Harvey Barnes has seen his Magpies career suffer because of injuries this season, but the 26-year-old has come back to life after striking twice in the final ten minutes to turn the game on its head. Craig Hope of Mail Sport offers his expert player evaluations from St James' Park.

Since the England manager was linked to Gareth Southgate, Paul Scholes' son took a shot at him. Southgate is Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new option to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, according to the Daily Star. According to the report, the 53-year-old, who has been England manager since 2016, has the support of several of United's new players - as well as incoming director of football Dan Ashworth.

David Moyes is determined to crack the code and bring Kalvin Phillips back to top form with West Ham. Phillips is off to a rocky start to his loan tenure in east London, and he was kept out of Gareth Southgate's current England squad on Thursday. But Moyes is confident he will crack the mystery and rediscover the player who Pep Guardiola spent £42 million to move to Manchester City 18 months ago. I'm talking to him on a daily basis, and he's such a nice guy to talk to as well.' According to Hammers manager Moyes, he wants to listen, get feedback, and get better.'

Kalvin Phillips of West Ham has risen to 9/4 to be part of England's squad for the Three Lions' two upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium after he was omitted from Gareth Southgate's squad. Since joining Manchester City on loan, the defensive midfielder has had a rough time. The talented 28-year-old has only played three games for the Hammers, and the three others are ones he would rather forget. He was also suspended at halftime against Nottingham Forest after an uneven performance in the first 45 minutes of play, in addition to his costly mistake against Bournemouth that resulted in a goal.

Ben White 'did not want to be considered' for England's upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, according to Gareth Southgate on Thursday. Jarrod Branthwaite, Anthony Gordon, and Ivan Toney were selected for the forthcoming friendlies, while out-of-form West Ham midfielder Kalvin Phillips was left out on a call-up. Similarly, White, who has had a fine run to help Arsenal go unbeaten in the club's last nine Premier League games, will not be included, though Southgate revealed that Edu's sporting director had summoned him to announce the news.

Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon have been given their first England call-ups. Both players have been recognized for their solid play this season, and they will hope to win their first caps against Brazil and Belgium in friendlies later this month. Kalvin Phillips has been ruled out of the new squad, despite the fact that striker Ivan Toney has won a recall.

MAGICAL MOKBEL: Kalvin Phillips has been suspended for the England squad for the games against Brazil and Belgium, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Anthony Gordon have been given their first call-ups. Gareth Southgate has sent Ivan Toney and Joe Gomez recalls. Following his batting ban, Toney returned to Brentford action in January and has scored four goals in nine appearances, earning him an instant return to the international stage.
