Phil Foden opens up on struggles in last two months at Manchester City - 'One of the lowest parts of my career'

Phil Foden has admitted the last three months have been “one of the lowest” points in his career after a lack of game time at Manchester City due to a foot injury. Since the World Cup in Qatar, Foden has started just seven games, primarily being used as a substitute and scored for the first time in the Premier League in over three months at the weekend. Ad On Tuesday, he found the back of the net twice as City beat Bristol City 3-0 to claim their place in the FA Cup quarter-final, underlining that he was back towards his best.

Everyone goes through them and it’s how you react. The discomfort in my feet and not playing as much. I love to play football and when I don't, I'm a bit frustrated.” Asked about the importance of City doing well in the FA Cup, Foden added: “Very important.

We haven’t won the FA Cup for a while and it’s something we want to speak about and we want to win it. “The last few games have been brilliant and we look like we are making a step forward so hopefully we can keep up this form now and finish this season wrong.” Foden is seen as one of England’s best young stars at just 22 years old, with call-ups to Euro 2020 and last year’s World Cup. Pep Guardiola described Foden as “a gift” when the England international made his senior debut in 2017.
