Phil Foden has returned to training.

Manchester City will face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 2022-23 season European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany at 4:00 am (Korean time) on the 20th. In the first leg in Manchester, Manchester City won 3-0 against Munich.

If they don’t lose this match, Man City is one step closer to the goal of winning the UCL. Man City, who had already conquered the English Premier League (EPL), tried to win the UCL every season, but never lifted the trophy. In the 2020-21 season, which was the closest to winning, he suffered a 0-1 defeat and was frustrated with the trophy in front of him.

This season is different. The overall performance of the players, including Elling Holland, who is leading the team’s attack by making a big success in the vanguard, is good. Until last season, coach Pep Guardiola was criticized for trying bold tactics during the tournament, but this season, it is also great that he is only using tactics that can ensure victory. Thanks to that, Man City are cruising in UCL.

News has been delivered that will elevate Man City’s power to the next level. England’s ‘The Athletic’ said, “Forden has returned to first-team training ahead of the UCL second leg against Munich. Foden’s return, which has recorded 13 goals and 6 assists in 36 games this season, will be a great help to manager Guardiola.” He told the news of Foden’s return.

Due to Foden’s return, Manchester City have more options for player recruitment. This is quite good news for Man City, which is challenging to win the league and the English Football Association Cup (FA Cup) in addition to the UCL this season. Man City can save the stamina of other players by using Foden in this game, and conversely, it can arrange the stamina of players by using Foden as a starter in other competitions. 스포츠토토

‘The Athletic’ also pointed out that Man City is competing fiercely in other competitions, saying, “Man City is 4 points behind Arsenal in the league and will play the FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United on the weekend.”
