MANCHESTER CITY star Phil Foden has revealed he has hurt his foot again after just returning from injury.
Foden has started only five of City’s last 12 Premier League matches following a foot injury he suffered in January during the derby against rivals Manchester United.
But the winger made a dynamic return after a three-match lay-off two weeks ago with a goal and assist at Bournemouth, a brace at Bristol City and a goal against Newcastle.
However, the England international has confirmed he is injured again although he hopes a bit of rest will help him extend his stunning momentum.
Foden said: “It was the derby, I had it just before but it wasn’t too serious then. I damaged it a bit more against United.
“Unfortunately today I’ve kind of hurt it again today but now I need to rest up.

“We’ve got two days off now so hopefully I’ll have the chance to rest it.
“We are always playing and there is no time to rest, sometimes your feet just need to rest and that was it really.
“It goes through moments, it’s one of those injuries where physios can’t really help, it goes when it goes, you have to learn how to manage it.”
This comes shortly after Foden admitted he is suffering “one of the worst parts” of his career because of the injury.

The 22-year-old’s ongoing issues led to him dropping down the pecking order temporarily behind Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez.
Foden said last week: “It’s been one of the worst parts of my career but everyone goes through them and it is how you react.
“Discomfort in my feet and not playing as much. I love to play football and when I don’t I am a bit frustrated.”
