Is Phil Foden fit? Pep Guardiola provides update on Man City midfielder ahead of England's UEFA Nations League fixtures

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that the 24-year-old "didn't feel good" after playing 45 minutes in City's Premier League opener against Chelsea on August 18. The game, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-west-ham-erling-haaland-bernardo-silva/blt0a06a7c76d00c41b" target="_blank">which City won 2-0</a>, was Foden's first since playing for England in the Euro 2024 final against Spain, and he has missed the subsequent victories over Ipswich and West Ham.

WHAT HAPPENED?

His absence has hardly been felt, with Guardiola blessed with a wealth of attacking options. But Foden has been included in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jack-grealish-returns-man-city-star-given-england-call-up-after-being-left-out-euro-2024-chelsea-hat-trick-hero-noni-madueke-gets-nod-interim-boss-lee-carsley-first-squad/blt257927e458f8656b" target="_blank">Lee Carsley's squad</a> for England's UEFA Nations League games in September, with the interim boss apparently keen to get a glimpse of the midfielder. However, Guardiola has suggested that he won't be able to represent his country in next month's games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Hopefully not [too long]. Hopefully after the international break he'll be ready," the City boss said. "He played against Chelsea for 45 minutes but then after he didn't feel good. He had tests and feels much better, but he still doesn't feel perfect."I prefer we [have] that time for him to recover and be fine and after, come back after the international break and be ready for those games."

WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

If Foden is forced to miss England duty, City will hope to have him ready in time to face Brentford on September 14. October's international break will give the midfielder another chance to show Carsley what he can do after a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phil-foden-man-city-pep-guardiola-coded-thrive-england/blte19344a8bfb79846" target="_blank">rather underwhelming Euro 2024 campaign</a>.
