Phillips' time in East London may be up as he could now return to City for treatment for an unspecified injury.

The 28-year-old has made 10 appearances for David Moyes’ side, including eight in the Premier League.

It is not yet confirmed where the midfielder will undergo his rehabilitation with both club medical departments currently in discussions.

West Ham have three games left this season but Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club on May 19.

Phillips moved to the London Stadium in the winter transfer window for regular first-team football but has made just three starts in all competitions.

The midfielder has 31 caps for his country and aims to impress Gareth Southgate to make the squad for Euro 2024 later this month.

But his time at West Ham has flopped after his debut for the Hammers against Bournemouth saw him pass the ball to Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke who scored their opening goal, in the third minute.

Then on his fourth game for Moyes' squad, Phillips was sent off after two quick-fire yellows.

He was also involved in an incident with a supporter following the 4-3 defeat to Newcastle in March.

The ex-Leeds star was filmed showing his middle finger to the fan after being called “useless” as he was boarding the team bus.

Moyes in support of his player said: “Kalvin’s a human being and what he needs is support and people to help him, which is what we’ll do.

"We need our fans to give all our players the support they require.

“Kalvin’s a really good player and I do believe we can still make something out of the time we’ve got with him here.”

West Ham have fallen in the table and now sit ninth in the Premier League and will next face Chelsea on Sunday.
