City boss Guardiola gives fitness update on Foden and Savinho

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has given a fitness update on Phil Foden, saying the England star is closing on a Manchester City return after missing the last three games with illness.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who has been absent for the past three weeks due to illness, missed City’s clashes with Ipswich, West Ham, and Brentford. Foden had originally been named in England’s squad for their games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, before he was forced to withdraw, alongside Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins.

"He didn’t train too many sessions. Step by step. I am delighted he is back. We need him desperately and it’s important for us that he is back. He has trained this week. The game was tight, and I decided to use other options," Guardiola was quoted by Man City website.
