PHIL FODEN enters Euro 2024 off the back of his best season yet for Manchester City.
The midfielder won the Premier League’s Player of the Year as well as the Football Writers’ award for best player.
He’s hoping to bring his excellent City form to the international stage this summer and become a hero for England.
Foden, 24, has two children with childhood sweetheart Rebecca Cooke, 22 – although they tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
Rebecca is currently pregnant with the couple’s third child.
Phil and Rebecca welcomed their first son, Ronnie, in 2019 when Phil was 18 and Rebecca was 17.
Ronnie, 5 is named after Foden’s granddad, who died at the age of 47.
Phil also wears 47 for Manchester City as a tribute to his late grandfather.
Ronnie is something of a social media influencer despite his young age and boasts over four million followers on Instagram.
The youngster is known as “El Wey” which translates to “The Dude” in Spanish.
On becoming a father to Ronnie at the tender age of 18, Foden told the Manchester City website: “I was there for the birth.
“I walked out of the room, gave it a little tear and then went back in like nothing happened.
“I’m not one for crying in front of people. I like to be on my own, but I was there in the room, watched it happen and it was a special moment.”
The couple had their second child in 2021, a daughter named True.
In April, they announced they were expecting a third child – they threw a lavish baby shower, with a blue theme, but did not reveal the due date or the gender.
Phil and Rebecca are childhood sweethearts and met in the couple’s mutual hometown of Stockport.
Rebecca opts to stay out of the limelight and has private accounts on social media.
The two live in a £2million house in Bramhall, Manchester.
Phil bought the house at the age of 18 when he broke into Manchester City’s first-team.
