'Something special' - Gareth Southgate told why he should start Man City star Phil Foden for England

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Glenn Hoddle has suggested that Manchester City starlet Phil Foden should be starting for England after he was an unused substitute against USA on Friday night.

Foden was left on the bench as the Three Lions drew 0-0 with Gregg Berhalter's side last week, with the Blues man having played just 17 minutes of football for England at the World Cup so far. He enjoyed a brief cameo as Gareth Southgate's men thrashed Iran in their opening match of the tournament.

The 22-year-old has registered eight goals and three assists in 20 appearances in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's side so far this season, but he is yet to start for his country in Qatar.
