Guardiola Confident Foden Will Return to Best

Pep Guardiola has publicly backed Phil Foden, saying the 25‑year‑old’s recent dip in form is a normal blip and that he will return to his devastating best. Guardiola highlighted Foden’s experience, having won six Premier League titles, and stressed that the player is still developing and will bounce back.

After England manager Thomas Tuchel questioned Foden’s World Cup squad chances, Guardiola defended the midfielder, noting his vital role alongside Erling Haaland in City’s attack and expressing confidence that Foden’s talent will lead him back to top form.
