EURO 2024: FODEN LEAVES ENGLAND SQUAD TO DEAL WITH ‘FAMILY MATTER’
Read Time:50 Second
England forward Phil Foden has temporarily left the team’s Euro 2024 camp and returned to the U.K. to deal with a “pressing family matter,” a Football Association spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old has started all three of England’s matches during the tournament and there is optimism within the camp that he will be able to return to Gareth Southgate’s squad in time for their round-of-16 match on Sunday.
England secured top spot in Group C following their 0-0 draw with Slovenia in Cologne on Tuesday.
The Euro 2020 finalists are yet to discover who they will face in the round of 16, but they have avoided having to face European heavyweights France, Spain, Portugal and tournament hosts Germany who are all on the other side of the draw.
Southgate and his team have received heavy criticism for their performances in all three matches, in which they have scored two goals and produced lacklustre displays, particularly in attack.
