The Three Lions’ standout forward Phil Foden has departed the team after undergoing surgery, Manchester City confirmed on the day of their Euro 2024 qualifying match against Ukraine. This occurs the day after Reece James, another Brit, was compelled to go back to his club Chelsea.
On the day of their match against Ukraine, England has received another more unfavorable news. Reece James‘ return to Chelsea due to a minor injury was reported just one day prior, and now Manchester City has revealed that star forward Phil Foden has left early following surgery.
“Phil Foden has left the England squad after undergoing surgery in London for severe appendicitis,” the Mancunian club stated in an official statement.
He “will not be fit for this weekend’s Premier League game at home against Liverpool and it is uncertain at this stage how long he will be out of action,” the Premier League’s second-place team added.
It’s a hard hit for Citizens supporters as well, as they may have to wait a long time to see their favorite striker during what is quickly becoming as a crucial period of the season.
He has been essential for them in their outstanding league and Champions League form up until this point.
