US Edition'He is back' - Pep touts Foden's return to form
Phil Foden scored his first career Champions League brace, helping Manchester City to a 4-1 win and marking a strong return after last season's struggles, Guardiola said.
- On Wednesday, Phil Foden fired a brace to help Manchester City to a 4-1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, marking his first career brace and taking him to 20 goals in the competition.
- Amid last season's dip in form, Foden struggled with off-field issues and injuries, leading to his omission from recent England squads as Tuchel has left him out of the last two camps ahead of Friday.
- Guardiola praised the display, saying `Phil is back` and highlighted Foden's movement, first touch, and generosity; his two low finishes led City alongside Haaland and Cherki's goals after Anton scored for Dortmund.
- With Tuchel due to name his group on Friday, Foden seeks a recall as Guardiola said the team need his goals and hoped the performance was 'the first step' toward delivering them.
- With the win City sit fourth in their Champions League group with 10 points from four games, and attention now turns to Sunday's Premier League visit of Liverpool and a home tie against Bayer Leverkusen on November 25.
