Manchester City to support Phil Foden and his family after they were harassed, verbally abused and physically attacked while watching Kell Brook beat Amir Khan

Phil Foden is returning to training on Tuesday for the first time since Saturday's AO Arena ordeal, with Manchester City extending the offer of support to the forward.

The 21-year-old was harassed and verbally abused on at least two occasions around his private box when attending Kell Brook's boxing bout with Amir Khan.

Social media footage emerged of the incident, with City 'shocked and appalled about the nature of the abuse and ensuing assault on one of Phil's family members'.
