Kalvin Phillips faces awkward World Cup decision after injury ... (Manchester Evening News)

Kalvin Phillips is back in individual training at Manchester City with three weeks to go until England's World Cup squad is announced.

After a few years of attending Platt Lane, I decided to become a volunteer for CITC. I knew I was going to an environment where I was going to learn something new every single week.
