"Foden spent most of his 56 minutes on the pitch on the fringes of a slow, turgid game. He looked pained as he came off... perhaps, because of a feeling that the World Cup is slipping away from him."
"In three big games for City this month... he was on the pitch for a total of one minute. His late appearance from the bench against Arsenal when the game was already won was branded a 'charity sub' by former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney."
"[Foden] will be pleased they won the cup but from a selfish point of view, he would have wanted to be out there and having an influence. That will be a tough one for him."
"He put his disappointing 2024-25 campaign down to a troublesome ankle injury and 'things going on off the pitch mentally.'"
Phil Foden, once a standout player in the Premier League, is now facing challenges as he struggles for game time at Manchester City. After a promising start to the season, his performance has declined, and he has been largely absent in crucial matches. Despite a brief resurgence in form, injuries and personal issues have hindered his progress. With Euro 2024 approaching, Foden's position in the England squad is uncertain, especially after a lackluster performance against Uruguay.
