England star Phil Foden misses game after appendix removed

Published March 26, 2023 5:48 PM

LONDON (AP) — England player Phil Foden was ruled out of the European Championship qualifier against Ukraine after having his appendix removed hours before kickoff. The Football Association said the Manchester City forward underwent surgery on Sunday morning. England went on to win 2-0. Harry Kane scored a record-extending 55th goal for his national team and Bukayo Saka added another. No estimate has been given on how long Foden is expected to be out while he recovers but he is likely to miss City’s Premier League game against Liverpool next Saturday and could be a doubt for his team’s Champions League quarterfinal first-leg match against Bayern Munich on April 11.
