Kalvin Phillips seems certain to leave Manchester City – most likely on loan – before the transfer window closes on 30 August.
Phillips endured a terrible spell at West Ham in the second half of last season, ending any hopes of him making Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.
He was replaced at half-time against Celtic in the 4-3 defeat on Tuesday, although Guardiola said that was to protect him after he had missed the end of last season with injury.
“That’s why we didn’t give him more minutes,” said Guardiola. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. He knows the situation, and we’ll see.”
