Phil Foden is determined to earn a recall to the England national team after being overlooked for the last summer’s World Cup and the current Nations League games by Thomas Tuchel. Although the upcoming squad announcement might come too soon for him, the Manchester City attacker expresses a strong desire to re-enter Tuchel’s plans. He stated, "Hopefully, one day the call-up might come back. It’s one of those things [being dropped]. Football is full of ups and downs. You have to try your best, keep putting on performances."

Foden disclosed that he has not had any communication with Tuchel since the World Cup regarding his performance expectations. He mentioned, "No, I haven’t really spoken to him to be honest, so not much to say on that."

In a recent match against Manchester United, Foden received a red card after just 23 minutes, resulting in a three-match ban. He reflected on this setback, saying, "Obviously, I had the unfortunate red against United but the break did me good, I came back fresh and sharp."

As Manchester City prepares to face RB Leipzig in the Champions League, manager Enzo Maresca emphasized the need for more offensive support beyond Erling Haaland, who has scored 13 goals this season. Following a disappointing 1-0 loss to Brighton, which marked the first time Maresca's side failed to score this season, he reiterated the importance of creating chances and shared, "We cannot rely on Erling for every game."

Foden's performance this season has been promising, with a career-high of 27 goals. When asked if he could further support Haaland, he expressed optimism:

Hopefully, [the key is] keep playing regularly, being happy and positive. I’m getting there slightly more now.
