Despite there being an emphasis on selecting young players, Southgate decided that Foden, who has only seen eight minutes of Premier League action this season, had not played enough to merit a place in the squad. Foden's only Premier League appearance this season came against HuddersfieldAsked if he feels any pressure over Foden's development, Guardiola said: "No I don't feel pressure for that. I do my best and I think Phil is ready. If he was not ready, he would not be here," Guardiola said.
