GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Phillips moved from Leeds to Manchester City in 2022, a year after being England Men's Player of the Year in the wake of Euro 2020. But he struggled to establish himself at the Etihad Stadium, with his fitness also questioned, before a disastrous loan at West Ham last season included showing his middle finger to fans who were berating him after a defeat to Newcastle. The 28-year-old joined Ipswich on loan during the summer and is starting to get his career back on track away from the intense spotlight.
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT?
Ipwich face West Ham in the Premier League at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon, which could be Phillips' fifth start this season. His contract at City runs until 2028, but the next few months could shape his future and lead to a permanent transfer next summer.
