Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged Kalvin Phillips to showcase his personality in training.
The Manchester City midfielder is completely out of favor with boss Pep Guardiola.
Despite Rodri being suspended for two Premier League games recently, Phillips did not start either contest.
“I just think if I was in that position and a manager wasn't picking me, I think I'd be treating training like a game," Carragher told Stick To Football.
“Almost every day. I'm not saying he doesn't (train well). We all give 100% in training.
“Whatever it is, he's got to make sure he's in the manager's face. I had situations at Liverpool where it felt like every season I was getting replaced by a new player coming in my position. I'd be like a lunatic every day thinking 'I've got to be better than him'.
“My point is, make sure you're noticed every day, whether it's your voice, you're being loud, you're leaving a tackle in on someone, you're going to speak to the manager 'OK I don't understand the position, explain it to me'."
