Euro 2024: Phil Foden Leaves England Camp Over Undisclosed Family Matter

Manchester City star, Phil Foden, has reportedly departed the England camp at the ongoing Euro 2024 in Germany.

Sky Sports reports that the player returned to the United Kingdom for an undisclosed pressing family matter.

Phil Foden took part in England’s tie against Slovenia, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

The forward and his wife Rebecca Cooke are said to be expecting their third baby.

It’s anticipated that Foden will come back to the team before Sunday’s match as England comes back to the Veltins Arena.

He has been a part of all three of England’s matches in the tournament so far in Germany.

The victory for England on Tuesday night was sufficient to secure their position as the champions of Group C.

SportXparte reports that England currently finds themselves in a decent position at Euro 2024.

England has secured the top spot in Group C after three games.

Despite not setting the world alight, they haven’t lost a single match, drawing twice and winning once.

They’ve only conceded one goal in the group stage, showcasing a strong defence.

England’s next opponent in the round of 16 will be decided after the final group matches on Wednesday.

They’ll face either the Netherlands or the third-placed team from Group E.

While England had not been the most exciting team to watch, their unbeaten record and defensive stability put them in a good position to progress further in the tournament.
