Man City manager replied back when he was asked about Phil Foden’s chances of playing in Nations League, “I don’t think so right now. I think he will not go, but I don’t know.
“He doesn’t feel well — otherwise he would be here. But like I said before, national teams decide.”
Guardiola also added: “He doesn’t feel good. It’s his stomach, a little, little virus. Some people said antibiotics and so on will be fine.”
