Special Foden ready for England, says Guardiola

The 18-year-old has made a name for himself as one of England's special talents and his manager is convinced he can impress for the national team

Pep Guardiola insists Phil Foden is ready to play for England and says the teenager will get plenty of game time for Manchester City this season.

The midfielder is one of the Premier League's rising stars and made five appearances for the top flight champions last season.

Given the level of competition for places in Guardiola's squad, it is perhaps not all that surprising that Foden has been limited to just a handful of outings so far.
