Man City boss Guardiola: Foden must be ready for career blip

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden must be prepared for his career blip.

Guardiola believes the 20-year-old can handle things when the inevitable form dip will happen.

He said: “Now Phil is in a normal process. He is going up and going up in his career.

“Soon – hopefully later, or hopefully never – there'll be a moment when it goes down. That is the moment when we'll see the best Phil Foden and how he reacts.

“The bad moments will come but we'll be here to help him and come back. I'm sure, with how humble is, he'll know exactly what is going to happen. I'm pretty sure he's going to start to grow up as a football player."
