Foden was given permission to leave the Three Lions' training base to return to his homeland on Wednesday. The 24-year-old was in Gareth Southgate's starting XI as England played out a 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday night, but departed the squad the following day.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Football Association (FA) confirmed the Manchester City star's departure from the Three Lions' camp, saying in a statement: "Phil Foden has temporarily left the England camp and returned to the UK for a pressing family matter."It was later widely reported that Foden had left to attend the birth of his third child.

WHAT THE FA SAID

The attacker is expected to be back with the England squad in Germany by Sunday - the same day Southgate's men face their last-16 clash.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Foden's involvement in the first knockout round may now be in doubt as he is away celebrating the arrival of his third child and is therefore unable to train. England will face either the Netherlands or the team that finishes third in Group E at 5pm (BST) on Sunday.
