“For me, football is played with the brain, and when the brain is mentally fatigued, you will not see a player for what it is,” he explained.
'Normally I am anxious to return, but when I returned, my body and my mental state were low.
'I have been playing since the age of five, pressing myself every day to be the best I can. When you add all games and all trips, it is a lot for the body.
Foden described how fatigue caused minor injuries and frustration in training, contributing to a slow beginning.
'I didn't feel 100 percent when I was training, and there were some discomfort. There were times when I was frustrating. My body did not feel how it was used to, and it is something that I had to deal with.
To recover, Foden adopted a cautious approach at the beginning of the season. Now he is completely fit and recovering his form, Foden is determined to help the city in his struggle for trophies while looking forward with a new beginning with England under a new administration.
