Dr Rajpal Brar reports that Kalvin Phillips, a midfielder for West Ham on loan from Manchester City, is out due to what appears to be a muscular ailment.
According to the injury expert, the England international might have a rigorous summer rehab program to get back to full health. His lack of playing time and multiple injury setbacks seem to have impeded his overall growth. Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, exclusively spoke with West Ham Zone.
“Difficult to say but it does sound like a muscular problem based on the little info there is.
“With the injury he had and how little time he’s had to play, it’s not surprising to see him fall into a vicious cycle of injuries.
“He may look to rebuild his fitness over the summer and an intense rehab as the lack of game time coupled with injuries appears to have stunted his overall development as a player as well.“
An intense rehab would make sense for the 28-year-old who’s struggled to take his game to the next level since leaving Leeds United.
He was viewed as one of the best English players ahead of his move to the Etihad Stadium but he failed to recover fully from the injury he sustained at Leeds.
His loan move to the London Stadium also ended in disappointment and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
