Calvin Philips, a midfielder for Manchester City, expressed his desire to compete in the Qatar 2022 World Cup following his “as soon as possible” recovery from shoulder surgery.
Philips transferred from Leeds United to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City during the most recent transfer window, but he saw just 14 minutes of action this season for the Premier League champions.
Since Philips missed the World Cup Qatar 2022 due to a shoulder issue that necessitated surgery last September, there are significant questions regarding the likelihood of his inclusion in the final England national team roster under coach Gareth Southgate.
Guardiola announced that Philips will be in the replacement in the match against Chelsea tomorrow, Wednesday, in the third round of the English Professional League Cup, and the 26 -year -old hopes to recover in time to be on the Southgate list for the World Cup.
In statements to the British Broadcasting Corporation, Philips stated that “the shoulder’s condition is fine right now.”
“Everything walked wonderfully,” he continued, “for seven weeks, I tried to recover as quickly as possible so that I could take part in the World Cup.”
The English national team begins its World Cup career by facing its Iranian counterpart on November 21, but Philips’s opportunity appears to be threatened in light of the fact that he participated only three times as a substitute since joining Manchester City.
When questioned about his potential to play for his country at the World Cup, Phillips responded as follows: “I’m still not entirely sure. I sincerely hope to take part. We have to wait to see. “.
The goal of Philips is to take part in the 2022 World Cup.
