Phil Foden Returns To England’s Euro 2024 Camp
Phil Foden is set to return to England’s training camp Friday after attending the birth of his third baby.
Foden boarded a plane back to England straight after Tuesday’s draw against Slovenia to be with his family.
The attacker’s partner Rebecca Cooke has had a baby boy and Foden is now due to return to Germany on Thursday evening with hope he can train in some capacity at the team’s Weimar base on Friday.
It was revealed in April of this year that the 24-year-old and Cooke, 22, were expecting their third child.
The family posed in front of a blue and white balloon arch that had eye-catching LED letters that spelt ‘Baby Foden’ on it.
The family celebrated their exciting news with a lavish baby shower, sharing pictures online of the celebrations.
An FA Spokesperson said: “Phil Foden has temporarily left the England camp and has returned to the UK for a pressing family matter.”
Cooke and Foden share a son Ronnie, five, and a daughter, True, who turned one earlier this year.
Ronnie, who has his own Instagram account that has four million followers and is run by his parents, shared an insight into the baby shower celebrations on his social media account.
The post read: “Had an amazing day with the most amazing people.”
After finishing top of their group, England have drawn Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
Should England progress, they are set to take on the winner of Switzerland’s last 16 clash against Italy.
