But if you&#8217;re James Ward-Prowse, he may as well retire now.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport&#8217;s Football Editor Ian Ladyman then posited the idea that the omissions for Ward-Prowse and others could have a negative effect on their attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton replied: &#8216;The message which it sends to players like James Ward-Prowse, players who have started the season very, very well&#8230; I mean, he must think he&#8217;s never, ever going to get an opportunity to play for England again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I just, I think Gareth has got this one wrong.

Phillips more so than Maguire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So, was he judging him on training? When they go away with England? I think from, from Phillips point of view, you know, he has to get himself out of Manchester City &#8211; unless there&#8217;s a dramatic turnaround in the way Pep Guardiola thinks about him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I know that there are players, historically, at City who have taken a season to get up and running under Pep, but it just doesn&#8217;t seem like that&#8217;s going to happen for Phillips at Manchester City.
