Phil Foden Leaves England’s Euro 2024 Camp for Urgent Family Matter

Share

Phil Foden has temporarily left England’s Euro 2024 base in Germany to address a “pressing family matter,” according to the English Football Association. The Manchester City star, who has been pivotal in England’s tournament so far, having started all three games, has returned home. It is uncertain if he will be available for England’s last 16 match on Sunday. Despite progressing to the knockout stages as Group C winners, England has underperformed compared to their pre-tournament expectations, with draws against Denmark and Slovenia following an opening win over Serbia. Nonetheless, England has a favorable path in the knockout stages, avoiding Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal until the final.
