Phil Foden - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready for opener Foden (ankle) has been training this week and is available for Saturday's opener against Wolves, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact Foden missed the friendly against Palermo a week ago, but it looks like the issue was minor and he'll be ready for the start of the season. However, given that he's not 100 percent and the other bodies available in the squad, it's likely Foden will open on the bench. Unfortunately for him, it's unclear what his exact role will look like this season after a disappointing 2024/25 campaign.

Back in training Foden (ankle) was spotted in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolves.

Impact Foden suffered an ankle injury that sidelined him for a pre-season friendly with Palermo. It appears it wasn't an overly serious issue, as the forward is now back in training. It remains to be seen whether he's going to be fit enough to start the Premier League opener, with new signing Rayan Cherki also in contention. Foden is coming off a poor season where he scored seven goals and added two assists in 28 appearances (20 starts), seemingly losing his place in the starting XI during the end of the campaign.

Impact Foden suffered a knock to his ankle and missed the last pre-season friendly against Palermo as a precaution. The forward could be back for the season opener against Wolves on Saturday if everything goes fine this week. That said, if he has to miss the game, Savinho will likely step into the frontline to replace him.

Takes major step back this season Foden started in 20 of his 28 appearances while recording seven goals on 54 shots and two assists on 43 chances created to go along with 80 crosses.

Impact Foden brought his struggles from Euro 2024 into the league season as he struggled to reach anywhere near the form he saw during the 2023/24 campaign. The attacker would miss the first few games through injury and would take a bit of time before he picked up his regular starting role, but even once he was in his regular role, he still only saw nine goal contributions compared to the 27 from last season. That said, he even struggled to get anything going outside of his goal contributions, not being as explosive and elusive as years past. He will hope to find his legs again next season as manager Pep Guardiola doesn't appear to be ready to give up on him, as he is still a top player who holds a Premier League Player of the Season award.

Whips in seven crosses Foden registered two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Southampton.

Impact Foden was inserted back into the starting XI Saturday after coming off the bench in his past two outings, his first start since April 6. His effort was okay but only resulted in a draw, notching a chance created, two shtos and seven crosses. He was substituted off in the 76th minute, and City then looked to have a bit more attacking prowess, another fault in a season full of struggles for the attacker.

Returns to bench Foden (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Everton.

Impact Foden was a late call for Saturday's game after being forced off early in the derby against Manchester United due to an ankle injury that sidelined him in their last contest. He is fit enough to feature but will return to the bench despite being a regular starter recently.

Impact Foden suffered an injury at Old Trafford and is now getting close to a full return. The attacking midfielder has been training and seems to be a true game-time call for Saturday's clash. Foden would likely be an immediate starter if fit.

Spotted back in training Foden (ankle) was spotted back in training and could be an option to face Everton on Saturday.

Impact Foden missed the 5-2 win over Crystal Palace on April 12 due to an injury sustained in the Manchester derby, but his return to training suggests the playmaker could return this weekend. Foden has seven goals and two assists in 25 appearances (19 starts) in the current Premier League campaign.

Sidelined for Crystal Palace match Foden (undisclosed) is unavailable for Saturday's game versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Foden didn't make the game-day squad list for unspecified reasons and will sit out his first game in a few months. James McAtee, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan are supporting the striker from the get-go in this one.

Starts after going unused Foden registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Foden was back in the starting XI Sunday after going unused in their last outing, although he only saw 58 minutes in the draw. His performance was subpar compared to what the English attacker can do, only seeing two shots and a cross. He is still trying to find last seasons form and will hope his outstanding 2024 wasn't a one-off, still looking to see double-digit goal contributions in league play after registering 27 last campaign.

Dropped to bench Foden was dropped to the bench for Sunday's two-all draw with Brighton.

Impact Foden has had a tough season, especially the back half of the season. The attacker played in the first two matches in the week and was dropped to the bench for the final match before the break. When fit Foden continues to start most matches, but he is often subbed off and has just one goal contribution since the beginning of February.

Three shots during loss Foden recorded three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat versus Real Madrid.

Impact Foden was one of the few City players who still looked to be motivated and fighting for something near the end of Wednesday's match, firing in three shots but with only one finding the target. Most came late in hail mary attempts, firing from outside the box and hoping he can hone in some of the form he held last season. He has now gone six matches since his last goal contribution, just after a streak of a goal contribution in five of his past six outings.

Draw penalty Foden generated two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Foden appeared as a substitute Tuesday, seeing 60 minutes of play after Jack Grealish had to leave the field. He was a nuisance on the wing despite not seeing a goal contribution, notching one chance created, two shots and two crosses while also drawing a penalty kick after a beautiful display of footwork, which would later be converted. He should get back into the starting XI next match especially after Grealish's injury, starting in 21 of his 29 appearances.

Nets goal late Foden scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Chelsea.

Impact Foden found the final goal of Saturday's match, running onto a wide-open through ball to put the game to rest. This does mark his seventh goal of the season in league play, also having two assists. The attacker has been seeing a decent spell of form recently, notching five goal contributions in his past four outings.
