Phil Foden sets sights on England recall and says he has had no contact with Tuchel

Phil Foden is aiming for an England recall after the Manchester City attacker was left out of the squad for last summer’s World Cup and the Nations League games this season by Thomas Tuchel.

While the next round of England games in the competition – the squad for which will be named on Friday – may come too soon for a recall, Foden wants to force his way back into Tuchel’s plans. The 26-year-old said: “Hopefully, one day the call-up might come back. It’s one of those things [being dropped]. Football is full of ups and downs. You have to try your best, keep putting on performances.”
