Man City star Phil Foden unlikely to face internal disciplinary action after being filmed in beach kick-about
Manchester City will remind Phil Foden of his responsibilities after being filmed playing football with members of the public.
Foden appeared to break social distancing guidelines in the wake of coronavirus with his impromptu game on Formby beach – and also gathered together for a group photograph.
While the Premier League champions plan to speak to the 20-year-old, he is not expected to face internal disciplinary action, as was the case with teammate Kyle Walker, who hosted a private party during lockdown.

Premier League clubs are currently preparing for the return of top flight football, with players and staff facing regular tests.
