England coach Gareth Southgate admits Phil Foden is a major doubt for the Euro 2020 final against Italy at Wembley.

The Manchester City star sustained a foot injury in training on Friday, and as a result was forced to miss Saturday's session at St George's Park.

The England manager said on Saturday: “Phil has got a very slight foot injury which he felt after training.

“He didn't train today - and I'd have to say he's doubtful for tomorrow.

"We'll check him again later. It's not something that will keep him out for a long time, but it might be that the game comes too soon."

Speaking earlier, Southgate said: "He's a doubt.

"We'll have to check again but he's got a fairly minor foot injury.

"But it's just whether it's going to be one that clears up in time for him to be able to take part in the game, so we'll have to assess that again later."
