Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, has issued an apology to one of his players for the treatment he received this season. Specifically, Guardiola has expressed regret to midfielder Kalvin Phillips for not including him in the team selections throughout this season.
Despite expectations for a more prominent role this season, Phillips has featured in only four Premier League matches, none of which he started. As a result, transfer rumors have begun swirling, linking the English international to clubs like Juventus and Liverpool.
Guardiola has conveyed his remorse to Kalvin Phillips, expressing regret for the decisions made regarding his playing time. “I’m truly sorry for not providing him with more opportunities,” stated Guardiola. “He didn’t deserve the treatment he received, and I deeply regret it.”
“I had a certain vision that made it difficult for me to envision him in the team, but I genuinely care about him,” Guardiola added.
Phillips has been heavily linked with a potential move away during the January transfer window, with reported interest from Juventus.
