Micah Richards insists Phil Foden 'fully deserves' his England recall after Iceland disgrace as Roy Keane jokes Man City starlet needs 'drug testing' for calling his fellow Sky pundit 'world class' during his playing days

Micah Richards believes Manchester City starlet Phil Foden has earned his recall to the England senior set-up.

The 20-year-old was named in Gareth Southgate's latest squad for this month's international fixtures - and returned to the fold after inviting girls back to the Three Lions' hotel in Iceland, alongside Mason Greenwood.

Southgate deemed that Foden's form for his club has merited a spot in his 29-strong group, a sentiment which Sky Sports pundit and Sportsmail columnist Richards has thrown his full backing behind.
