Phil Foden is unlikely to join up with the England squad for their upcoming Nations League games because of illness, says Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
The 24-year-old has only played 45 minutes this season, as a substitute for City against Chelsea two weeks ago.
He was named in England interim boss Lee Carsley’s squad for their Nations League second-tier games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
“I don’t think so right now,” said Guardiola about Foden linking up with England.
“I think he will not go but I don’t know. He doesn’t feel well. But national teams, they decide.”
Foden has won 41 caps for England and started all their games at Euro 2024.
England take on the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on 7 September (17:00 BST) and Finland at Wembley on 10 September (19:45).
