Foden leaves England camp for birth of third child
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has left the England national team’s training camp to be present for the birth of his third child.
Foden’s partner, Rebecca Cooke, is expected to give birth to their third child this week and the 21-year-old did not want to miss the special moment.
The midfielder has been in fine form for Manchester City this season, helping the team to the top of the Premier League table.
Foden has also been a key player for England, impressing in the Euro 2020 tournament earlier this year.
England manager Gareth Southgate has allowed Foden to leave the camp temporarily to be with his family.
It is unclear whether Foden will be available for England’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.
His absence will be a blow for England, as Foden has been one of their standout performers in recent matches.
We wish Phil Foden and his partner all the best as they welcome their new arrival into the world.
Despite his absence, England will be hoping to secure victories in their upcoming matches and continue their strong run of form.
