Kalvin Phillips is expected back for the start of pre-season training.

Manchester City are one of the last Premier League clubs to report, which is understandable given how many of Pep Guardiola's squad have been involved in major tournaments.

However, Phillips was not among them after failing to nail down a place in Guardiola's starting line-up and then enduring a disastrous loan spell at West Ham, which came to a premature end through injury at the back end of April.

It seems impossible the 28-year-old will remain at City for the coming campaign but for now, he will train with Guardiola and his players, with the likelihood that he will go to the USA for their four-match tour later this month.
