Guardiola rules out 'impossible' Foden loan after teenager stars in Rotherham rout

Manchester City youngster Phil Foden will not be allowed to leave on loan during the January transfer window, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.

The midfielder is yet to start a Premier League game but has made eight appearances off the bench in the top flight for the champions in 2018-19 so far.

Foden started Sunday's 7-0 thrashing of Rotherham United in the FA Cup third round, scoring his first goal at the Etihad Stadium with an assured performance.
