Having not yet overcome the great pressure after the disappointing 0-0 draw with Slovenia, the England team continued to receive bad news. On the afternoon of June 26, midfielder Phil Foden left the England team headquarters to return home, citing family reasons.
"Foden has asked to return to England to take care of family matters and the coaching staff has agreed," British media reported. However, insiders cannot know when Foden will return, or whether he will definitely play in the round of 16 match of EURO 2024.

According to The Athletic , Foden's absence will only be temporary. Thus, there is still a possibility that this player will continue to accompany the England team at EURO 2024.
Foden is not the first case of England leaving the squad during a tournament. At the 2022 World Cup, midfielder Raheem Sterling asked to go home for family reasons. Sterling then returned and played in the quarter-final against France (coming on as a substitute).
Foden is an important figure for England. The young Manchester City midfielder has started all three group stage matches, forming an attacking trio alongside Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka. However, Foden has yet to contribute to any goals.
England finished the EURO 2024 group stage at the top of the table. Foden and his teammates won 1 and drew 2, earning 5 points, scoring 2 goals and conceding 1.
