Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has indicated that Phil Foden is likely to withdraw from the England squad due to a virus, casting doubt on his participation in upcoming Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. Foden has struggled with illness, missing Manchester City's recent victories and only playing 45 minutes this season. Although he was named in the England squad, Guardiola stated, 'I don't think he will go, but I don't know,' emphasizing the decision ultimately lies with the national team. Foden's health is a priority, with Guardiola hoping he will be fit to return after the international break. Last season, Foden was a key player for City, scoring 19 league goals and providing eight assists. City remains unbeaten in the season so far, but they eagerly await Foden's return to bolster their squad.
