Phil Foden is set to return to England’s training camp tonight after attending the birth of his third baby.
The Football Association confirmed, on Wednesday, that the Manchester City star had returned to the UK due to a ‘pressing family matter’.
Foden boarded a plane back to England straight after Tuesday’s draw against Slovenia to be with his family.
His partner Rebecca Cooke has had a baby boy and Foden is now due to return to Germany on Thursday evening with hope he can train in some capacity at the team’s Weimar base on Friday.
It was revealed in April of this year that the 24-year-old and Cooke, 22, were expecting their third child.
The family posed in front of a blue and white balloon arch that had eye-catching LED letters that spelt ‘Baby Foden’ on it.
The family celebrated their exciting news with a lavish baby shower, sharing pictures online of the celebrations.
