Phil Foden has openly discussed his struggles this season with Manchester City, attributing his inconsistency to an ankle injury and personal issues. Despite a strong previous season, Foden has found it difficult to regain his form, having only scored 10 goals. He sustained the injury in April after a tackle and mentioned mental challenges off the pitch that impacted his game. Foden acknowledged the support from his club, and highlighted the importance of addressing his mental state before returning to peak performance next season.
"It's been difficult. I picked up an ankle injury against United and it took time to heal before I could push myself back in training."
"A lot of people don't know what football players have to go through and play with. I've had a lot of ankle pain and played with it in the last couple of months."
"The club has been so supportive. I can't thank them enough. I know if everything was OK [off the pitch] I'd definitely be better on the field."
"Sometimes there's things in life bigger than football. This season I've struggled a little bit."
