He’s obviously not fat for the average person, but here’s the Liverpool players getting their measurements done on the first day of preseason.
And bear in mind Phillips is in last chance saloon, and his manager commented on his weight last year AND he was just in the press this week talking among how he felt that was unfair.
I don’t know when that photo of Philips was taken, but hard to imagine him coming back in similar shape.
This isn't an excuse or anything, given the bottom line is that his fitness is his responsibility, but he's from an entire family of... err... plus sized women. I wonder if he's genetically predisposed to gaining weight quickly, similar to how Aguero was.
Not an issue if he can lose it just as quickly but he definitely doesn't seem to be as lucky as someone like Grealish, who can spend the summer consuming everything behind every bar he goes in and still comes back looking like he's never even glanced at a packet of Wotsits in his life.
