Foden eyes return to top form
“Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden said he is beginning to rediscover the form that made him one of the Premier League's standout players, after a recent scoring streak boosted his confidence ahead…”
Foden, who won the Premier League Player of the Season and Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year awards in 2024 after scoring a career-best 27 goals in all competitions, endured a dip in form that ultimately cost him a place in England's 2026 World Cup squad. "Hopefully I can get back to that level," Foden.
"I think I'm slightly starting to get back there now with my recent performances. "The 26-year-old scored his first Premier League goal of the season against Ipswich Town last month after serving a suspension following a red card in the Manchester derby.

" Asked about his international future, Foden said he had not spoken to England manager Thomas Tuchel since being left out of the World Cup squad and was concentrating on performing for City. "All I try and do really is focus on my own game and hopefully one day the call-up might come back," he said.
