Micah Richards shares Phil Foden 'sadness' as Man City and England difference made clear
18.06.2024 - 16:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Micah Richards has admitted that Phil Foden's performances for England have made him sad.
The Manchester City academy graduate has excelled for Pep Guardiola's side after playing a key role in their record fourth consecutive Premier League title. Foden scored 27 goals and provided 12 assists across all competitions for City in 2023/24.
However, his performances at international level have not been as strong with the 24-year-old registering just four goals in 35 appearances for the Three Lions. The forward started in England's opening match of Euro 2024 against Serbia but struggled to make an impact in Gelsenkirchen as Jude Bellingham scored the winner in a 1-0 win.

And former City full-back Richards has had his say on Foden's struggles when playing for Gareth Southgate's side in comparison to his performances for City under Guardiola.
"It makes me sad that a player of his quality is just in and out of the game," he told BBC Sport. "It's just disappointing we're not able to get the best out of him."
Speaking to England's in-house media in Germany, Foden defended the overall performance against Serbia and insisted the three points were the most important thing.
"The first game in a major tournament is always the most difficult. It's important to get off to a win and we did that," he said. "It was difficult at times, obviously we had to defend and dig deep. But I think it shows a different side to us and if we're going to win something, I think that we have to do that."
