'I'm getting back to my best', says City's Foden
LEIPZIG: Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden said he is getting back to his PFA and Premier League Player of the Season form ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match at RB Leipzig.
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has stated he is regaining his Premier League and PFA Player of the Season form before an upcoming Champions League match against RB Leipzig. In 2024, Foden won both accolades after scoring 27 goals across all competitions. Speaking in Leipzig on Tuesday, Foden expressed that he felt he was returning to his best after a poor run of form that led to his exclusion from the 2026 World Cup squad.
He claimed consistency, regular play, positivity, and playing in the right positions contribute to regaining form. Foden aims to continue this trend and is hopeful his performance will continue to improve. He also mentioned he had not spoken to England manager Thomas Tuchel since being left out of the World Cup squad, focusing instead on his own game.
Foden had a positive experience transitioning from previous City manager Pep Guardiola to the new coach, Enzo Maresca, whom he said he understood better than other players due to past collaboration. Maresca agreed Foden was improving and expected him to make an impact this season, acknowledging he competes with Rayan Cherki for a starting position.
