Phil Foden has temporarily left England’s Euro 2024 base in Germany to return home due to a “pressing family matter,” the English Football Association said on Thursday.
Foden, who won Premier League player of the year accolades for his starring role in Manchester City’s title triumph this season, has started all three of England’s games at the tournament so far.
It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will be available for the Three Lions’ last 16 match on Sunday.
Foden is just one of a number of England stars that have failed to replicate their club form at international level at the Euros.
