He then saw his arse when the player came back from the World Cup overweight . He’s been on and off the bench in fits and starts for a reason . The drop off from Rodri was huge at the minute and to take a chance on Phillips at the time would’ve been suicidal . Pep has come out numerous times to give Kalvin his backing and support him if he wants to stay next season ( which Phillips does , apparently)
He will be given more chances next season .
I hope this answers your question but feel free to offer another player the cheating t@@ts have taken to stop other teams strengthening.
Especially after we weakened Arsenal by selling them Jesus and Zinchenko and Chelsea with Sterling .

To be fair you weakened Arsenal by pumping us 4-1 at the Etihad. Would have won the league otherwise.
