Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said midfielder Phil Foden is unlikely to join up with the England squad for Nations League fixtures against Ireland and Finland due to illness.
The 24-year-old, who was called up by interim England boss Lee Carsley for matches in Dublin on September 7 and Finland at Wembley three days later, has made only one appearance for City this season as a substitute in their Premier League opener at Chelsea two weeks ago.
“I don’t think so right now,” Guardiola said when asked about Foden joining the England team. “I think he will not go but I don’t know. He doesn’t feel well. But national teams, they decide.”
Foden has earned 41 caps for England and started all of their games at Euro 2024 in Germany.
