Kalvin Phillips’ season at West Ham could be over after injury

By Dan Sheldon and Sam Lee

Kalvin Phillips’ season at West Ham United could be over after picking up an injury.

The England international, 28, joined from Manchester City in January on loan until the end of the campaign.

He has made 10 appearances for David Moyes’ side, including eight in the Premier League, but could now return to City for treatment on an unspecified injury.

It is yet to be decided where the midfielder will undergo his rehabilitation with both club medical departments currently in discussions.

West Ham have three games of their season remaining, but Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club on May 19.

Phillips moved to the London Stadium in the winter window in search of more regular first-team football but has made just three starts in all competitions.

He was also involved in an incident with a supporter following the defeat to Newcastle United in March where he was filmed showing his middle finger to the fan after being called “useless” as he was boarding the team bus.

“Kalvin’s a human being and what he needs is support and people to help him, which is what we’ll do,” Moyes said at the time. “We need our fans to give all our players the support they require.

“Kalvin’s a really good player and I do believe we can still make something out of the time we’ve got with him here.”

Phillips has 31 caps for his country and — injury permitting — will be hoping to be included when Gareth Southgate selects his squad for Euro 2024 later this month.

West Ham — ninth in the Premier League — are next in action against Chelsea on Sunday.




C&H

West Ham eye Carrick wonderkid

West Ham United are reportedly closing in on the signing of 21-year-old midfielder Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, according to recent chatter from news outlets



What with David Moyes‘ potential departure and the underwhelming loan spell of Kalvin Phillips, West Ham desperately needs reinforcements in central midfield. Edson Alvarez also requires quality competition.

Hackney has shone under Michael Carrick’s guidance at Middlesbrough this season. His comfort on the ball, passing ability, and composure make him a promising prospect.

In his Championship appearances, Hackney boasts an impressive average of 75.8 passes per game with an 87.9% completion rate. He’s been praised by manager Carrick, who called him a “shining light” for the club.

Reports suggest West Ham is prepared to offer a hefty £18 million for Hackney. While this could prove a smart investment down the line, some will consider it a risky amount for an unproven Premier League player.

Perhaps a £10-12 million price tag would be more reasonable for Hackney’s current experience level. However, he does look like a potentially excellent signing
