Phil Foden was among several Manchester City players who returned to begin preseason training on July 20, 2026. Foden missed the recent FIFA World Cup, which might have provided him much-needed rest. The 26-year-old has struggled with form recently but aims to regain his peak performance this coming season. With the pressure of being a senior player, Foden's comeback will be crucial for Manchester City's ambitions under new management.
