Phil Foden gets Manchester City off to fast start v. Leeds United ' Premier League

Starting against Leeds Foden is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Leeds.
Impact Foden played 34 minutes off the bench over the weekend and he's back in the XI Tuesday despite dealing with a bad ankle. It's unclear how well he feels, as he hasn't gone a full 90 in more than a month. While he has tons of upside, it's likely he'll be an option to be subbed off early against Leeds.

Bench option Saturday Foden (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Wolverhampton.
Impact Foden has been hampered by ankle problems in recent matches and will be used in limited fashion in this one. He has posted four goals, three assists, 26 shots and 18 chances created in 14 games so far.

Continues to deal with ankle issue Foden "is getting better," but he continues to deal with an ankle issue, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He will dictate and say how he feels after games."
Impact Foden made it just 45 minutes midweek and the main thing is that it was surprising that he started Tuesday despite having an ankle issue. Given that he's probably not 100 percent, he's unlikely to start against Wolves, which may have been the plan all along.

Impact Foden was having issues with his ankle during the game and was subbed out as a precaution. He was receiving his second-straight start and the hope is that this doesn't turn into a nagging issue. Given recent starts, it's unlikely he'll make the XI for Saturday's match against Wolves even if healthy.

Sets up opening goal Foden had an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing ten times (three accurate) and creating four chances during Saturday's 3-1 win over Watford.
Impact Foden set up Raheem Sterling in the fourth minute, assisting the opening goal of the match. The assist was the second of the season for the attacker while his ten crosses and four chances created were both team-high totals in the win.

Starting against Watford Foden (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Watford.
Impact Foden returns to the XI Saturday after staying on the bench midweek. It's unknown if he's ready to go a full 90, having not done so in a month, but either way, it's a favorable spot and he'll have plenty of chances to hit the score sheet.

Available as substitute Foden (undisclosed) was named to the match-day squad versus Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Impact After missing the club's previous two matches due to his undisclosed injury, Foden will ease his way back into action as a substitute Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, the forward should get plenty of opportunities to start during the club's busy December schedule, possibly as early as Saturday's clash with Watford.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Could be option Wednesday Foden (undisclosed) could be an option off the bench for Wednesday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact Foden was thought to be an option Sunday, but he missed his second-straight match with an undisclosed injury. Even if ready Wednesday, it doesn't sound like he'll be ready to start just yet.

Not in squad Sunday Foden is not in the match day squad to face West Ham on Sunday.
Impact Foden looked like he would be an option but ultimately fails to make the squad to face the Hammers on Sunday. All reports stated the attacker was near a return so he may feature mid week against Aston Villa.

Should be fine for Sunday Foden (undisclosed) is feeling better and should be an option for Sunday's match against West Ham, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact Foden missed the midweek UCL contest with a minor injury, but it looks like he's better and could even be back in the XI Sunday. He went 58 minutes last weekend, so playing time remains a concern, as do set pieces after he managed just two corners in the win against Everton.
NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Seven crosses in win Foden sent in seven crosses (one accurate), creating one chance during Sunday's 3-0 win over Everton.
Impact Foden had plenty of creativity, and had a solid floor with his duty on set-pieces, putting together a solid showing, even if he failed to get on the goal sheet. The forward has been tasked with leading the attack, and is a premier fantasy option. Up next is a Wednesday clash with PSG.

Good to go Sunday Foden is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Everton.
Impact Foden was a slight doubt after picking up a knock on international duty but is good to go and starting Sunday. The attacker takes up a role in the City front three for their Premier League clash with Everton.

Late test Sunday Foden picked up a knock to his leg with the national team and is a late test for Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact This doesn't seem like a major worry for Foden, but there's a chance he doesn't start Sunday with Champions League ahead. However, given the other absences in the team, there aren't a ton of more options for City to use up front, though Raheem Sterling could get the call if Foden is unable to play 90.
