Phil Foden was asked if his England performances have been up to scratch. His answer was refreshingly honest.
'Definitely not,’ said the Manchester City man. ‘I don’t think it is easy coming into a team and not knowing the players very well. You have to learn to play with different players and what they like best — running behind or wanting balls to feet. Just little details like that.
‘I have had enough experience in the England team to understand the players now. Hopefully I can bring that into the World Cup.’

But his disappointment with his England performances so far is understandable. His 18 caps have brought just two goals.
‘I definitely should have scored a lot more,’ Foden, 22, said. ‘I am still learning, still learning the group of players as well. I am hoping this World Cup is good for me and hopefully I can bring goals.’
