England midfielder Phil Foden is set to return to Germany on Thursday following the birth of his third child. The 24-year-old had left the England camp for a “pressing family matter,” as described by the Football Association. Foden, who has 37 caps, has been a key player for England in the tournament, starting all three group games including the recent draw against Slovenia.
Foden and his partner Rebecca Cooke announced on Instagram in April that they were expecting their third child. The couple already has two children, son Ronnie who is five years old, and daughter True who is two. On Thursday, Foden will be reunited with his family after traveling to the UK for the birth of his new addition.
England is set to face Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro 2024 on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen. Foden is expected to rejoin training on Friday, eager to continue contributing to England’s success in the tournament. His commitment to both his personal and professional life showcases his strong work ethic and determination on and off the field.
