JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD: More competitive adverts for the
Champions League's group phase are available - a night when thousands of blue seats remained strikingly vacant - but
Phil Foden won't mind that. While all eyes are on how
Manchester City replace
Erling Haaland in the eventuality of a more pressing injury than the knock from the
weekend‚
Foden made his point around who fills in for
Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo will miss the next two months with a knee problem and it will be a fight between
Foden and Iliman Ndiaye as to who makes that spot their own.
Foden's hat-trick with
AEK Athens in town after notching against
Ipswich Town four days earlier do his chances no harm. His first two goals were products of super link up with
Rico Lewis‚ the pair in sync in one-touch blurs of movement‚ and
Foden slamming high into the net with a purpose not always seen recently.
