Phil Foden Returns to England Squad After Birth of Third Child
The midfielder rejoined the squad and has already trained with England ahead of the Euros' Round of 16 clash against Slovakia.
Phil Foden, England's footballer, returned to the team's camp on Friday after the birth of his third child and is now preparing for the Euro 2020 round of 16 clash against Slovakia, as announced by the English Football Association in a video showing him entering the training field.
Foden was absent for 48 hours to travel to Great Britain with permission from the federation and is now ready to face his team's next match.
England had a mixed performance in the group stage, winning only one match (1-0 against Serbia) and drawing the other two (1-1 against Denmark and 0-0 against Slovenia).
The Manchester City player is a key figure in Gareth Southgate's setup, who might make some changes to improve the team's performance and secure a place in the quarter-finals.
Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer are potential options to replace Conor Gallagher and Bukayo Saka, though Foden himself, who has had an inconsistent tournament, could also find himself on the bench.
