Latest News on Phil Foden: Euro 2024 Camp Leave Due to Family Matter
Breaking News
Manchester City and England midfielder Phil Foden has temporarily withdrawn from England's Euro 2024 camp in Germany due to a pressing family matter.
Details
The Football Association (FA) confirmed the news in a brief statement, stating that Foden "has temporarily left the camp and returned to the UK due to a pressing family matter." The FA added that the 24-year-old is expected to rejoin the team "in due course."
The specific nature of the family matter has not been disclosed out of respect for Foden and his family's privacy.
Impact on Team
Foden's absence is a blow to England, as he has been a key player for the Three Lions. He made his senior debut in 2020 and has since become a regular in the squad, earning 18 caps and scoring two goals.
England are set to play their final UEFA Nations League match against Italy on Monday, and Foden is now expected to miss the game.
Return Expectations
The FA did not provide a specific timeline for Foden's return, but it is understood that he will rejoin the squad as soon as the family matter is resolved.
England manager Gareth Southgate is expected to provide further updates on Foden's condition and expected return date at a press conference on Monday morning.
