It remains to be seen whether Foden will start against Slovakia in England’s last-16 tie on Sunday evening, considering he has missed most of training this week.
Foden has played 37 times for England, scoring four goals.
He has started in all three of England’s group games at Euro 2024 so far and is considered by Gareth Southgate as a key player in the England squad.
Foden starred last season for his club, winning the Premier League player of the season award.
The Guardian reports that Declan Rice and Kieran Trippier were not part of the main training group on Thursday. There is no suggestion that Rice has any sort of injury, whilst Tripper has been managing a calf problem.
Both are expected to be fit for the Slovakia game.
