When Gareth Southgate announces his England squad today, the typical Manchester City players like Phil Foden will be included, with expectations on Foden’s performance. Foden, Kyle Walker, and John Stones are certain to be selected. Foden’s recent strong performances in the midfield have made him a popular choice among fans to be considered by Southgate for a spot in the England midfield alongside Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice. During this international break, the squad selected will provide insight into Southgate’s decisions for the final roster for Euro 2024. Unfortunately, Jack Grealish may not be included in the squad due to injury, but would likely be added if he is able to recover in time for Germany. Many believe that the decision for the left-wing position will ultimately come down to him or Marcus Rashford. Two City players may not be able to complain if they are not selected for the latest squad, potentially jeopardizing their participation in the summer. Additionally, there is ongoing debate between fans of Man City and Man Utd regarding plans for Wembley of the North and the use of public funds at Etihad Stadium. Arsenal have given Manchester City a secret advantage in the Premier League title race. Rico Lewis received his first cap during the November international break, after being promoted from the under-21s along with former Blue Cole Palmer. While Palmer has continuously improved and become one of England’s top performing players for Chelsea this season, Lewis has experienced a decline and is now spending more time on the bench since the previous international matches.
