Phil Foden says goodbye to England, leaves EURO 2024

On the afternoon of June 26, local time, Phil Foden left the England team 's training ground in Blankenhain, a town in central Germany.

Man City players have had to temporarily leave EURO 2024 to return to England due to serious family problems, according to an announcement from the English Football Association (FA).

Foden temporarily leaves EURO due to family matters

The FA did not go into detail about Foden, who started all three EURO 2024 group stage matches.

Foden has yet to score or assist at this EURO. He has taken 7 shots, with 2 on target.

Coach Gareth Southgate's tactics are said to be one of the reasons why Foden has not shown himself as he did at Man City, with the 2023-24 Premier League Player of the Year award.

In the latest match, England drew 0-0 with Slovenia , coach Southgate withdrew Foden to replace him with Anthony Gordon but still could not create a breakthrough.

It is unclear whether Foden will be able to resolve family matters in time to return to Germany to compete in the knockout stage.

England's next game is on June 30 in Gelsenkirchen. If Foden does not return, Cole Palmer, Gordon and Bowen could be the three Lions' replacements.
