Phil Foden temporarily leaves England squad and returns home due to ‘pressing family matter'
Phil Foden has temporarily left England’s Euro 2024 camp to return home for a “pressing family matter”.
The Manchester City midfielder started all three of England’s group-stage matches in Germany as Gareth Southgate’s side advanced by finishing top of Group C.
The Football Association confirmed on Wednesday, however, that Foden would now leave the team’s Spa and GolfResort Weimarer Land base for a spell.
“Phil Foden has temporarily left the England camp and returned to the UK for a pressing family matter,” an FA spokesperson said.
