Foden has had two opportunities this past week, the only player to start both of England’s friendlies. Phil Foden struggled to make an impact in the friendlies and his World Cup place is in doubt‘He tried everything,’ began the England boss.

Likewise Harry Kane, and upon that pair do England’s World Cup dreams now hang.
