Phil Foden sends Bukayo Saka a message over battle for spot in England XI

Manchester City youngster Phil Foden has sent a message to Arsenal star Bukayo Saka over a spot in the England XI.

Saka was called up to England squad for the international break during October, however, he withdrew due to injury. Meanwhile, Foden played full 90 minutes in the Three Lions 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday.

Gareth Southgate's side qualified for the EURO 2024 following the win over Italy.

Speaking about the battle for places, Foden told the BBC: ‘Bukayo [Saka] is a quality player, every time he pulls on the England shirt he puts in a 7/10 at least every time.

"If I’m not starting I want to try and come on and change the game, I’m here to help the team as best as I can.

"It’s exciting because it shows we still have players to come back into the side and help us push forwards. It just shows the depth in quality that the squad has."
