England midfielder Phil Foden is set to return to the team’s Euro 2024 camp in Germany on Thursday. The 24-year-old had temporarily left the camp following the birth of his third child, returning home after Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Slovenia to be with his partner Rebecca Cooke.
Foden’s absence was a blow to the England team, as he has been one of their most consistent performers throughout the tournament. The midfielder, who had a phenomenal breakout season with Manchester City, winning the Premier League’s player of the season award, has started all three of England’s group games.
His return comes at a crucial time for England, who face Slovakia in the last-16 on Sunday. Foden’s presence will be a welcome boost for the team as they aim to progress further in the competition.
