Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with Phil Foden's response from his England controversy.
Foden was sent home from the England camp in Iceland, along with Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, after breaching FA laws having invited two local Rejkavik women to their hotel room. Both players were left out of England's squad named yesterday.
Snce the incident Foden, 20, has started City's first two Premier League games of the new season, as well as a Carabao Cup tie against Bournemouth. With two goals in those three appearances, Guardiola has been pleased with his attitude and performances.
The City manager said: "I think everyone knows the reason why, but Phil has worked incredibly hard every day. His performance is high and has been good.
"When Gareth thinks it's the moment to come back, he'll come back. He is still playing as well as possible to be ready.
"I think he has shown incredible maturity because, after what happened, he played the first game against Wolves (when) it was not easy and (in) the second game against Bournemouth he led the team.
"The third was difficult for everyone - Leicester played so well in the defensive area - and he was a bit tired.
"But I think his approach in every training session and match has been right."
