'He has shown incredible maturity': Pep Guardiola praises Manchester City star Phil Foden's response to England shame after he was sent home after breaking Covid-19 protocols

Pep Guardiola has hailed Phil Foden's mature response to the public fall-out that followed his high-profile England disciplinary breach last month.

The Manchester City midfielder was sent home from the England camp in Iceland, along with Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, after the pair were found to have broken Covid-19 protocols.

The punishment has continued, with both players omitted from England manager Gareth Southgate's latest squad for this month's triple-header against Wales, Belgium and Denmark.
