Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will decide Kalvin Phillips' future at the end of the season following the England midfielder's disastrous first campaign at the Etihad Stadium.
Phillips joined City in a £42 million deal from Leeds United last summer but is yet to start a Premier League game for his new club.
The 27-year-old has played just 405 minutes this season in 17 appearances in all competitions and has been linked with moves to Liverpool and West Ham.
"Right now, absolutely, we are not thinking for one second about next season," Guardiola told a news conference on Friday.
"He's not been on the pitch much. In some things he needs to adapt a little bit more but what happens next season, I'm not concerned for one second now. We will see at the end of the season. We'll sit with the players.
"Maybe they want more minutes or maybe they are not happy with the situation. But right now I'm not going to discuss anything."
