Manchester City club's head coach Pep Guardiola commented on Phil Foden's exclusion from the national team before the upcoming match against Brentford and stated that Rodri will be great in next year's World Cup:

Thomas Tuchel knows what he needs a thousand, a million, three million times better than I do.

All I can say is that the way P. Foden plays, he will return to the England national team.

Rodri will be great in the upcoming World Cup with Spain and next season – it will be the best version of him as a midfielder.

This season it will be important how he bounces back, step by step. That is normal. He missed a year at the massage table. The body changes, and the rhythm of the game does too.

25-year-old Phil Foden has scored 2 goals in seven matches this season and is showing great form.
