Guardiola hits at Foden critics over England 'incident'

Man City boss Pep Guardiola has jumped in defense of Phil Foden after the recent saga that saw him dropped from the England squad.

Guardiola has urged critics to focus more on themselves after the recent backlash Phil Foden has seen.

The City star alongside United’s Mason Greenwood came under scrutiny for their off the pitch shenanigans.

The young pair were culprits of bringing women into the England team hotel and they ultimately got dropped from the squad.

Foden and Greenwood have both apologized for their acts but that has not stopped the criticism so far.

Solskjaer recently jumped in defense of the United man and Guardiola has similarly done the same for his City star.

“He (Foden) is well. The time I saw him, these three, four days we worked together. He knows he made a mistake and that’s all,” Guardiola said as quoted by Goal.

“I am pretty sure Phil is going to make a good season. He knows he made a mistake. Stop giving too much advice to other people.”

“If every one of us put the same high expectations on ourselves as we put on others, it would be better.”

“Stop giving advice to the other ones, look at what you have done in the past and when you demand to the other ones, and stick to what you have to [do], our society will be better.”

Guardiola will now have to decide on whether or not Foden will start on the pitch for Manchester City. Regardless, the 20-year-old trained with his team-mates ahead of a trip to Wolves on Monday evening.
