Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna SLAMS 'nonsense' rumours linking Kalvin Phillips with a January exit despite midfielder's slow start to the season

Kieran McKenna has hit out at ‘nonsense’ rumours that Ipswich will cut short Kalvin Phillips’ loan spell in January.

Phillips, who has endured a difficult few years since joining Man City in 2022, moved to Portman Road for the season in an attempt to reignite his career.

The midfielder has had a mixed start to life with the Tractor Boys and one report claimed the club were considering their options.

But, speaking after Ipswich’s dramatic 4-3 defeat by Brentford, McKenna refuted this and threw his backing behind Phillips.
