Foden fully deserves England recall after regaining Southgate's favour, says Richards

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has earned his return to the England squad, says Micah Richards.

The 20-year-old has been included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the upcoming matches against Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland.

It is just the second time Foden has been called up, having made his debut in September before he and Mason Greenwood were sent back home after breaching coronavirus protocol in Iceland.
