'He is our most gifted player': Declan Rice raves about Phil Foden's quality despite the England star's lack of minutes at the Qatar World Cup... as Kalvin Phillips identifies the No 10 slot as his Man City team-mate's best position

England stalwart Declan Rice has labelled Phil Foden as the Three Lions' 'most technically gifted player,' while Manchester City and national teammate Kalvin Phillips has insisted the attacker's best position is playing as a number 10.

Foden has been the talk of the England camp in the build-up to Tuesday's World Cup clash against Wales as Gareth Southgate ponders whether to start the Man City star.

Foden came off the bench for a bit-part appearance in England's opening tournament domination of Iran before being an unused substitute in their goalless draw against USA.
