The selection debate surrounding the Stockport Iniesta is getting less and less complicated with every match-winning performance he produces for Manchester City.
The question is no longer whether Gareth Southgate will pick Phil Foden to start for England at the European Championships this summer. The only question now is where he will play him.
Foden has simplified that debate all by himself. His two goals against Manchester United on Sunday were just the latest manifestation of the flowering of a special talent. It has got to the point where, even in an England side stacked with attacking prowess, it is inconceivable that he is left out.
