Guardiola Confident Foden Will Return to Peak Form

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he has full faith in 25‑year‑old Phil Foden, who has seen a brief dip in form during the international break, and that the winger will return to his best level. Guardiola called the dip a normal blip in a long career and stressed that Foden’s talent and experience will carry him through.

England manager Thomas Tuchel had earlier questioned whether Foden would earn a spot in the national squad, but Guardiola insists the player’s contributions and past achievements prove his worth. The manager added that Foden’s resilience and growth will see him back in top form before the season’s climax.
