I really don’t think that message Walker is posted is the message of a player who thinks he’s missing the World Cup.

And Phillips has his surgery when he did precisely so he wouldn’t miss it.

Until confirmed otherwise I would assume both are going to Qatar.


I also think both are players Southgate would take even if they were only supposed to be fit to play the knockouts, like Maguire in Euro 2020.

Some daft Italian did that with GazBaz and look how that worked out, Gareth took the bastard flack hey ho ;-)
 
I wouldn't get too excited about Phillips, it was a shoulder injury, he could in theory have been out on a pitch doing fitness stuff alone a week if not days after surgery, it's no real indication of his progress.

Him going to the world cup is possibly the only instance where it might actually benefit us. Assuming his surgery was successful, he needs matches having barely played in 12 months, some minutes at the world cup could be a nice little mini pre-season for him, he's going to be needed in the new year, Rodri can't play every game.

So true , a good world cup could really benefit his time with us, he needs to get fit, keep fit and force his way into this team.
 
The arrogance…

Use the World Cup, playing for England, as his pre-season for City’s second half after Christmas!

Bit raggish that!

why?

He has hardly had any football in the last year, he needs minutes to get back up to speed.

It's going to be difficult for him at his best to get a regular place in our side.

Exhibit 2, playing alongside this fella after training with the likes of Rodri, KDB, Bernardo and Foden must seem like a dream!
