Foden was absent from City’s two friendlies in the US as he didn’t meet the country’s entry requirements, but has been training with the team since they returned, as has Haaland.

And Foden lifted the lid on his early impressions of Haaland, agreeing with Jack Grealish’s assessment last week that the number nine will be ‘unstoppable’ when he reaches full fitness.
