Phil Foden — England · FIFA World Cup 2026

Demonstrating exceptional talent at a young age, Phil Foden became a key player for England's 2020 European Championship runner-up squad and contributed to Manchester City's domestic dominance while establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most creative midfielders. Though he missed out on England's 2022 World Cup triumph in Qatar due to injury concerns, Foden has since become integral to England's midfield setup for future international competitions.
