Manchester City are sweating on the fitness of key man Phil Foden ahead of the Saturday lunchtime kick-off with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Foden has only just returned to action for the Premier League leaders after a couple of weeks on the side-lines.

But the England international only lasted 45 minutes of City’s 2-1 defeat to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday.

As reported by the Daily Mail last night, Foden came off injured at the break against the German side after complaining about a problem with his ankle, which could see the England star missing out on City’s Premier League clash at the weekend against Wolves.

Foden was taken off as a ‘precaution’ according to City boss Pep Guardiola, who also lost defender Nathan Ake to injury late on.

“Nathan has a problem with his back – we will see tomorrow,” said Guardiola.

“Phil had problems in the beginning of the game with his ankle. He struggled a little bit so he was taken off as a precaution and we put Raheem (Sterling) in his position.”

With the festive schedule one of the busiest times of the season for Premier League clubs, City could be without Foden if his new ankle injury is as bad as his previous one.

Here’s what some City fans had to say about the latest with Foden’s injury on Twitter…
