Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that Phil Foden is unlikely to join the England squad for their upcoming Nations League games due to a virus. Foden missed City’s match against West Ham over the weekend and Guardiola confirmed that he is not expected to recover in time for international duty. Guardiola stated that Foden is not feeling well and will not be able to join the national team as a result.
Guardiola explained that Foden’s condition is related to a stomach virus, and that the player is not well enough to join up with the England squad. It seems that Foden’s illness is preventing him from participating in the upcoming matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, despite his desire to represent the national team. Guardiola emphasized that ultimately, the decision on Foden’s involvement rests with the national team authorities.
Foden’s expected return date is set for the match against Brentford on Saturday 14th September, indicating that he is likely to miss the upcoming England fixtures. Guardiola’s comments suggest that Foden’s health is the primary concern, and that his absence from international duty is a result of his current illness. Manchester City will need to manage Foden’s recovery carefully to ensure he is fit and ready for his return to action.
