Phil Foden has been spotted back in England training after returning to the Three Lions' camp.

The Manchester City star temporarily departed the group in German earlier this week to attend the birth of his third child back in the UK. Foden is understood to have been away from the camp for the guts of two days but a video posted on England's social media accounts on Friday showed the 24-year-old back in training ahead of Sunday's clash against Slovakia.

Foden should be available to start the last-16 tie and he'll hope to build on an encouraging performance on Tuesday night. City's no.47 provided the most consistent attacking threat from the left wing and set up Bukayo Saka's disallowed goal via his run in behind.

England drew the game 0-0 as pressure mounts on Gareth Southgate. Among the pre-tournament favourites, the Three Lions have failed to impress across the three group-stage matches and have lacked fluidity and tempo in possession.

There have been calls for Southgate to move Foden inside from his wide berth and play in a more central position. That would mean Jude Bellingham either dropping out of the team or playing in a deeper role. Reports claiming Kobbie Mainoo will start in Gelsenkirchen this weekend suggest the latter won't be an option.

The knockout stages begin on Saturday when Switzerland take on Italy - with the winner set to face either England or Slovakia in the quarter-finals. The last-16 takes place across four days (Saturday to Tuesday), with 12 City players still involved.
