Phil Foden’s absence for Manchester City’s clash against Nottingham Forest on Sunday was due to illness, with the midfielder having been directly involved in 34 goals this season. His standout performances have been instrumental in City’s title push, with the team needing five wins from their remaining matches to secure the league title.

Foden has been a key player for City this season, starting 43 matches and scoring crucial goals in their victories. His absence is a setback for City as they aim to keep the pressure on Arsenal in the title race. Despite missing the Forest game, Foden remains an important player for both City and the England national team, with a major role expected for him in the upcoming European Championship this summer.

The news of Foden’s illness adds to City’s injury concerns, with Ruben Dias also missing the Forest clash for the same reason. However, the return of Erling Haaland to first-team training provides a boost for Pep Guardiola’s side. City will be hoping for a quick recovery for Foden as they look to secure a fourth successive league title and add to their trophy collection this season.
