Although England has fallen short of expectations in recent matches, their path in the tournament appears more favorable, with a chance to avoid formidable opponents like Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal until the final.
Furthermore, reports from the Daily Mail indicate that Foden has left the camp to be present for the birth of his third child with his childhood sweetheart, Rebecca. It is anticipated that he will rejoin the squad ahead of their next match on Sunday in the last 16 stage.
