Phil Foden has started all three of England’s matches at Euro 2024 so far.
On Wednesday he left the Three Lions training camp to be present at the birth of his third child.
Rebecca gave birth to a baby boy yesterday with England star Foden in tow.
He will then return to England’s training camp and could be in contention for a place in the round of 16 on Sunday.
Gareth Southgate’s side face Slovakia at Schalke.
Foden already has two children, Ronnie, four, and True, one, with his childhood sweetheart Rebecca.
He hosted a sky blue, Man City-themed baby shower in April to announce the birth of his third child.
Anthony Gordon, a likely starting replacement for Foden, has a bruised jaw after a bizarre injury.
The 23-year-old Newcastle winger fell off his bike while in rehabilitation.
He has since been spotted with ugly scrapes on his chin and nose and red spots on his chin and hands.
