Phil Foden withdraws from England squad as Man City confirm star has undergone surgery after illness

Manchester City Phil Foden has withdrawn from the England squad and will miss the Premier League fixture against Liverpool next weekend after undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis.

Foden was a substitute in England's win at Italy on Thursday, before being taken off shortly after following Luke Shaw's red card. He would have hoped to have featured in the home fixture with Ukraine on Sunday, but City have confirmed that the winger has withdrawn from international duty.

England confirmed Foden had surgery on Sunday to remove his appendix, while City said in a statement, that Foden will now return to Manchester for recovery. He is definitely out of the Liverpool clash next weekend, and the club have not given a timeframe on how long he will be out for.
