Phil Foden, the 24-year-old Manchester City midfielder, has returned to training after a three-week absence due to illness, which had forced him to miss key matches against Ipswich and West Ham. His illness occurred shortly after he was awarded the PFA Player of the Year and led to his withdrawal from England's squad for upcoming matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. Pep Guardiola noted that Foden had been experiencing 'discomfort' following City's season opener against Chelsea. Now back in training, Foden was seen actively participating and competing for possession with teammate Mateo Kovacic. His return comes at a crucial time as City prepares for several upcoming fixtures, including a match against Brentford and the start of the UEFA Champions League. The team's performance has remained strong in Foden's absence, with notable contributions from Erling Haaland and other key players.
