Guardiola Confident Foden Will Return to Form

During a pre‑match press conference, Guardiola said the dip in Foden’s form was a normal blip for a player of his age and experience. “He’s 25, has won six Premier League titles, and will click again,” he added, stressing the youngster’s talent and resilience.

Guardiola highlighted Foden’s importance alongside Erling Haaland in the club’s recent success, noting that even though he fell short in a friendly for England, the player’s trajectory remains upward. The manager remains optimistic that Foden will fully recover and continue to be a key contributor for both City and the national team.
