Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has explained why one of the leading players has not been involved much in the team in recent times.
"Phil Foden has to compete with Mahrez, who plays well, and with other players. It's just competition."
The Spanish coach added: "What needs to be said is not to be frustrated. Foden has to do his best, and then things will be easy."
Phil Foden is on contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2027.
This season, the England player made 30 appearances in various competitions and managed 9 goals with 4 assists.
Manchester City is second in the Premier League table with 52 points, two behind leaders Arsenal.
