Manchester City say they are shocked and appalled after Phil Foden and his family were assaulted on a night out.
James McAtee explains Man City inspiration for his rise

James McAtee has named Phil Foden as the senior Manchester City star he looks up to as he proves there is a path to the first-team for the club's young players.
McAtee is one of several extremely talented prospects coming through in the City academy and he has put an end to speculation he could leave the Etihad by committing his future to the club.
The 19-year-old had been linked with a departure, with Manchester United supposedly interested due to his excellent form this season which has seen him bag 19 goals.

"The way he has shown the academy players that it is possible, I would have to say him. It gives us all a bit of hope and they don’t feel like it is never going to happen.
"When you see CJ, Luke [Mbete], Liam [Delap] and people like that do it, it is possible.”
McAtee also discussed the tough learning curve that joining first-team training presented and how he had to prove himself to City's established stars.
“At first when I joined it was very overwhelming, but I just needed to realise that I wasn’t there to just fill the numbers and try and contribute to training," he added.
"I get advice from the players and staff every day. I would say the one that has stuck with me is to try and earn the trust of not just the manager but the players, so they can trust you when
