Micah Richards has hailed Manchester City star Phil Foden as "fearless", as he slammed England manager Gareth Southgate following claims that the 22-year-old was being put under too much pressure.
After Foden was left on the bench for England's disappointing 0-0 draw with the USA last week, the outcry over the City star's omission has been seismic. Southgate turned to Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford instead, yet neither player managed to find the vital breakthrough to unlock the opposition's defence.
Southgate has since warned of the pressures being put on Foden's shoulders, as he defended his decision not to bring on the City man during the draw. However, Richards has now criticised the England manager, as he claimed that the youngster is in the form of his life at the moment.
