Phil Foden has revealed he has faced challenges “off the pitch mentally” this season and that an ankle injury sustained against Manchester United in April has hampered him and is not 100% healed.
The Manchester City forward has struggled to recapture last term’s impressive form that featured a career-high 27 goals and being voted the Professional Footballers’ Association players’ player of the year and the football writers’ player of the year. He has managed only 10 goals, has not scored since January and was only a 76th-minute replacement in Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace.
