Phil Foden was ruled out of England’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix on the morning of Sunday’s game at Wembley. The 22-year-old came off the bench, and was later substituted, in Thursday’s 2-1 win away to Italy. Manchester City midfielder Foden trained with England on Saturday but was later taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery on Sunday.
England’s Football Association said in a statement: “Phil Foden has been ruled out of this evening’s Euro 2024 qualifier with Ukraine following surgery to remove his appendix this morning.
“England manager Gareth Southgate has not called up a replacement, meaning he has 20 players to choose from after the earlier withdrawal of Reece James and Luke Shaw’s suspension.”
