Dad: Chelsea's Wright-Phillips won't play for Sven

Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips won't consider a return to Manchester City if Sven Goran Eriksson is appointed manager.

While a return to his former club might appeal to the England winger, the thought of linking up again with Eriksson certainly does not.

Wright- Phillips was often sidelined during the Swede's England reign and his Dad, Ian Wright, told talkSPORT: "No, it's not happening. I know he loves Manchester City. Whether he loves City with Sven in charge is another story.

"It hasn't gone as well as he would have liked at Chelsea, everyone knows that. But he has to see how his options go, see what he's going to do with Chelsea for a start.

"But I would categorically say the chances of Shaun going back to City, with Eriksson as their manager, are very, very slim. Majorly slim, in fact."
