Man City star Phil Foden admits frustration with bit-part England role at World Cup

Manchester City starlet Phil Foden has admitted frustration at not having played a greater role for England at the World Cup, but insisted that he is a team player and is desperate for his teammates to succeed.

Foden made his first start for the Three Lions at the tournament in Qatar in the convincing 3-0 victory over Wales on Tuesday night, with the 22-year-old grabbing his first World Cup goal in the Group B clash.

England boss Gareth Southgate came under some criticism for leaving the Blues man on the bench for the goalless draw with USA, and Foden has since said that he was 'disappointed' not to have played more. However, he also stated that he is a 'team player' who enjoys the success of the players around him.
