Phil Foden becomes dad for 3rd time and heads back to England duty
England star Phil Foden and his partner Rebecca Cook have welcomed their third child into the world.
The 24-year-old footballer has been playing for the Three Lions in the current European Championship in Germany this summer, but he jetted home to the UK on Wednesday (26.06.24) to be with Rebecca, and she has now given birth.
On Thursday (27.06.24), Manchester City star Phil - who also has Ronnie, five, and two-year-old True with Rebecca - is said to have headed back to Germany to join up with the England team again for the remainder of the tournament, after he left the camp over what the Football Association described as a "pressing family matter".
After starting all three of England's group games so far, Foden will likely be involved in the Three Lions' Round of 16 fixture against Slovakia on Sunday (30.06.24) in Gelsenkirchen.
