If Phil Foden continues to perform well in the coming months, he may win more trophies with his club and national team. The young Manchester City forward has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 19 goals and becoming a key player in Pep Guardiola’s team. His impressive performances have likely secured him a spot in England’s squad for the upcoming European Championship, despite facing tough competition from other talented forwards. Foden only played a full 90 minutes once during the World Cup in Qatar, where the Three Lions made it to the quarter-finals. However, it is difficult to imagine him not playing a significant role in future major tournaments. In other news, the date for the FA Cup semi-final match between City and Chelsea has been confirmed. Despite Guardiola’s warning, Haaland still started for Norway, showing that his advice was disregarded. The Euro tournament presents an opportunity for Foden to establish himself as one of the top players in Europe and make a name for himself as a star. It is a stark contrast from the early days of his senior international career, when shortly after making his debut in September 2020, he was ordered to leave the England camp by manager Gareth Southgate for a significant violation of COVID-19 regulations. Foden and Mason Greenwood were accused of breaking the strict bio-bubble in Reykjavik by reportedly spending time with two girls during the trip. This resulted in both the Football Association and City issuing statements, which took attention away from Foden’s debut that had occurred two days prior. After apologizing, Foden was forgiven and rejoined the squad in November after missing the October internationals. Southgate stated that they had a conversation on the first day and moved on from the incident. Once we finalized the selection for the October team, the task was completed.
