admin It wouldn’t take a psychic to predict Phil Foden is primed for a massive tournament following his Manchester City exploits – but it seems the man himself wanted some extra confirmation.
It wouldn’t take tarot cards to forecast the Manchester City stars being one of the shining lights of the tournament, after a dazzling domestic season. Foden won yet another Premier League title under Pep Guardiola, scooping up individual honours on the way as well.
But international honours remain the only thing eluding the 24-year-old after suffering heartbreak at the last Euros in 2021 and the World Cup 18 months later.

He must have been fairly impressed as well, offering a discount code to his followers on social media after the trip.
Thankfully for England fans, Foden isn’t just relying on the supernatural, but has admitted a little dose of extra luck wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. After all, Gareth Southgate’s side were a penalty shootout away from becoming European champions three summers ago, and had captain Harry Kane converted against a tired France, their World Cup adventure would likely have extended beyond the quarters.
“Sometimes in those big games football is small margins. A big moment. A player can create something from nothing or something goes against you,” he told the Mail.
“I feel like in those big ones you almost need a little bit of luck on your side and we’ve been a little bit unlucky. Harry has that pen and if he puts it away then it’s a different story. But it is what it is.”
Foden is almost certain to start England’s opener against Serbia on Sunday night, although he is likely to be shifted to the left to accommodate Jude Bellingham. That’s a decision Three Lions legend Wayne Rooney disagrees with, instead believing everything should run through the City ace.
“You have to build the team around Phil Foden,” Rooney said. “He has to be as a No10 and Jude play a little bit deeper.
“(Foden) is completely different to me (as a player), he’s more mature than I was with the ball at that age. I was a bit more raw.”
