In a surprising turn of events, Phil Foden has been left out of Manchester City's squad as they prepare to take on Ipswich in their first home game of the Premier League season. Foden, who played the second half of the win against Chelsea last week, is notably missing from the lineup, raising questions about his absence.

Savinho, who recently recovered from his own injury, is set to feature against Ipswich, taking Foden's place in the squad. However, the official reason for Foden's absence is reported to be illness, allaying concerns of any further injury issues. Ilkay Gundogan, on the other hand, is back in action for City after recently re-signing in a sensational deal.

Manager Pep Guardiola has selected the same starting lineup that secured victory against Chelsea, with Savinho joining the team after recovering from a knock suffered during the previous match. However, Rodri is still missing from the squad as he continues to be absent from training. Mateo Kovacic will continue to partner with Bernardo Silva in the defensive midfield position.

Meanwhile, the squad boasts three right-back options, with Issa Kabore being one of them. Rico Lewis, following an impressive performance at Chelsea, retains his spot ahead of captain Kyle Walker in the starting lineup.

As Manchester City kick off their first home game of the season against Ipswich, the absence of Phil Foden due to illness has left fans and pundits speculating on his return date. Nonetheless, with the return of Savinho and the recent signing of Gundogan, the team is eager to secure another victory and maintain their winning momentum.
