Guardiola confident Foden will return to form

Pep Guardiola expressed confidence that Phil Foden will regain his best form after a recent drop in performance.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he believes Phil Foden is simply experiencing a blip in his career and will come back stronger. Guardiola praised the 25‑year‑old’s past achievements and noted that a temporary dip is normal for a player of his age.

Foden was questioned after England manager Thomas Tuchel said the midfielder may not secure a spot in the World Cup squad, prompting Guardiola to reassure that the player’s talent and experience will help him recover.
