Phil Foden Injury: Battling fitness

Foden was held out from Sunday's 2-1 loss to Brighton because he was "not fully fit," according to manager Pep Guardiola, per Arthur Ferridge of The Standard.

Foden has had another rough start to the season after only featuring once in the club's first three games, with that appearance coming from the bench. He was held out completely from their most recent loss, with the winger battling some fitness issues. He will now use the international break to recover fitness and hopefully be ready upon return, as the club will have to do without Rayan Cherki for two months due to a quadriceps issue.
