"Both he and the club suffered a disappointing campaign last term - City failed to win a major trophy for the first time in eight years, while the midfielder revealed struggles with off-field issues and injury. But Foden appears to have put those problems behind him, impressing his manager, supporters and pundits with performances that signal he may be returning to his best."
""I'm loving it," Foden told TNT Sports. "I just need to play with a smile on my face, which I'm doing. Last year was tough, not just for myself but for everyone. "There is a new togetherness this season and you can tell. Dortmund caused us some problems, they are a great team, but we stuck to the plan and broke them down with our talent up front.""
Phil Foden produced a standout performance at the Etihad, helping Manchester City to a 4-1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund and briefly diverting attention from Erling Haaland. He and the club endured a disappointing previous season, and Foden faced off-field issues and injury. He appears to have put those problems behind him, delivering four goals and three assists in 13 games and impressing manager, supporters and pundits. The 25-year-old will closely monitor England squad announcements for World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. He has been omitted from recent England squads, faces competition for the number 10 role from Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers, and Pep Guardiola believes he is happiest in that position.
