Phil Foden has been left out of the Manchester City squad for their clash against Crystal Palace, less than a week after Manchester United fans taunted him with vile chants about his mother.

Foden, 24, came under fire during a limp 0-0 stalemate in the Manchester derby last week, as sections of Old Trafford's home support labelled his mother, Claire Rowlands, 44, a 's**g' while he was playing.

In the aftermath of the draw, a furious Guardiola leapt to the defence of his star man, who has endured a difficult season for City.
