Soucek: West Ham players behind Phillips

West Ham United midfielder Kalvin Phillips was taken out of the firing line by his manager in midweek.

David Moyes chose not to select Phillips for their 1-1 draw against Tottenham.

The Manchester City star, who is on loan at the Hammers since January, has struggled to find his best form.

Teammate Tomas Soucek defended Phillips, stating: We are behind him, like everyone.

I am behind every player from our changing room, but especially for him it's quite tough. But he's a good guy, a good player. He just has to show it on the pitch."

I believe his time is coming," he added. He is showing this in training."
