Pep Guardiola has announced VERY SAD NEWS for Phil Foden after he was absence from the Manchester City Vs Ipswich Town premier League Matc
The notable absence of Phil Foden from Manchester City’s squad for their Premier League match against Ipswich Town on Saturday was unexpected and surprising to many fans.
Ipswich Town, making their debut visit to the Etihad Stadium, had former Manchester City players Arijanet Muric and Liam Delap in their lineup. The match was set to kick off at 3pm, marking a significant moment for the visiting team.
In a twist of fate, Foden, who has been a rising star from Manchester City’s academy, was notably missing from both of the matchday teams, which consisted of 40 player names. This omission was attributed to illness. Foden, who had replaced Nico O’Reilly in the starting lineup earlier this week, did not play against Chelsea last week after making a brief appearance off the bench in the second half.
The squad for the Community Shield had included Issa Kabore and the returning Ilkay Gundogan among the substitutes, but for the Ipswich match, manager Pep Guardiola decided to stick with the same starting lineup that played against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge just six days prior. This starting lineup featured a back four of Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol, positioned in front of goalkeeper Ederson. Once again, Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Kyle Walker were chosen as substitutes.
Due to ongoing injuries, Mateo Kovacic continued to play at the base of the midfield in place of the absent Rodri. Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne maintained their positions in the midfield, contributing to the team’s overall strategy and performance.
