Phil Foden to make his England debut against Iceland
Phil Foden will make his England debut against Iceland on Saturday, with Gareth Southgate set to give the Manchester City midfielder a start in the Nations League tie.
The 20-year-old has been called up to the senior team for the first time for the double header against Iceland and Denmark after a strong season finale with City.
Foden will follow Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi to become the third member of England’s triumphant U-17 World Cup team to make their senior debut.

Foden trusts the young stars of England
Foden is poised to become an England star and help bring some long-overdue silverware to the country.
The playmaker has tried “not to read too much” the excitement and anticipation in the run-up to his role in England’s victory at the Youth World Cup, with the City star focused on making his mark for the national team.
Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood have previously played together for the England Under-21 team
“I want to try to keep the jersey and play for England for many years,” Foden said. “I feel that as a team we can go much further than what we have done in the past.
“I feel really confident in the way we are going and the players we have. We need to start winning tournaments and I hope that in the future we can.”
Foden believes that the experience at the triumphant U-17 World Cup helped him learn to handle the pressure of playing big games.
0:36 England manager Gareth Southgate says he has no hesitation in giving Phil Foden or Mason Greenwood senior debuts against Iceland or Denmark based on what he has seen in practice.
“The medal is still in my cabinet at home,” said Foden, who also won the Ballon d’Or for his performances in India. “If you win youth tournaments when you are younger, it can give you the experience to go and win one in the first team.
“I feel like the World Cup definitely helped me play on the big stage and not feel as much pressure. I’ve played a lot of big games at Man City and I’ve learned to deal with the fans and the pressure. It kind of definitely helps you.”
