Phil Foden has expressed that a combination of personal challenges and a significant ankle injury contributed to a "difficult season" with Manchester City. Despite being a key player last season, scoring 26 goals, he struggled to replicate that form, netting only 10 times so far. Foden mentioned that he rushed back from a ligament injury sustained during a match against United, impacting his performance and mental state. He is hopeful for improvement and aims to regain his previous high standards in the next season.
"I've had a lot of things going on off the pitch mentally. It's one of them - sometimes, there's things in life that are bigger than football. This season, I've struggled a little bit."
"[My ankle] took a while to heal before I can push myself back in training, I had to look after it. It's been a frustrating season for me."
