Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden aims to be back for April 26 Premier League clash against Arsenal, according to The Sun via Tribal Football.

The report adds: “Foden was expected to be sidelined until at least the start of May after having his appendix removed less than a fortnight ago.

“But there’s a confidence he will play again this month.

“The Sun says he will start bike and strength work this week and there are hopes to ease him back before the table-topping Gunners visit the Etihad on April 26.

“Foden could even make the FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United on Saturday week.”
