Man City's Foden confident of return to top form after tough spell

04-11-2026 01:23 PM


Ammon News - Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden said he is beginning to rediscover the form that made him one of the Premier ​League's standout players, after a recent scoring streak boosted ‌his confidence ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash at RB Leipzig.
Foden, who won the Premier League Player of the Season and Professional Footballers' Association Player ​of the Year awards in 2024 after scoring a ​career-best 27 goals in all competitions, endured a dip in ⁠form that ultimately cost him a place in England's 2026 ​World Cup squad.

"Hopefully I can get back to that level," Foden ​told reporters on Tuesday.
"I think I'm slightly starting to get back there now with my recent performances."
The 26-year-old scored his first Premier League goal of the ​season against Ipswich Town last month after serving a suspension following a red card ​in the Manchester derby.
He followed it up with a hat-trick and an assist in ‌City's ⁠5-1 Champions League win over AEK Athens.
"I had the unfortunate red card against United. But the break did me good. I think I came back really fresh-minded and sharp," he said.
"Being involved ​in goals gives ​you a lot ⁠of confidence and when you're playing regularly as well you kind of just get into a ​rhythm and a groove."

Asked about his international future, Foden ​said ⁠he had not spoken to England manager Thomas Tuchel since being left out of the World Cup squad and was concentrating on performing ⁠for ​City.
"All I try and do really is ​focus on my own game and hopefully one day the call-up might come back," ​he said.
