Foden set to return to England camp.

England midfielder Phil Foden will return to Germany on Thursday after leaving for the United Kingdom for the birth of his third child.

The 24-year-old left the England training camp on Wednesday due to a "pressing family matter," according to the Football Association. Foden, who has 37 caps, has started all three of England's group games in the tournament, including Tuesday's draw against Slovenia.

 England play Slovakia (17:00 BST) in the final 16 of Euro 2024 on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen, and Foden is expected to train on Friday. Gareth Southgate's squad finished first in Group C, earning five points from three games.

In April, Foden and his partner Rebecca Cooke revealed on Instagram that they were expecting their third child.
