Is Phil Foden injured this weekend? Premier League injury update

Phil Foden.

Manchester City will be hoping to keep pace with the Premier League leaders this weekend with a must-win clash at home to Luton Town.

The Cityzens are unbeaten in their last 26 games in all competitions since a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa in December, a run which includes a 6-2 demolition of Saturday's opponents.

Pep Guardiola's side sit two points adrift of Arsenal and Liverpool, who share top spot with just seven games to go.

Speaking after the 3-3 draw against Real Madrid on Tuesday, Guardiola down played the severity of an injury which forced Foden off the field after a 'Player of the Match' display.

“It was a knock and he was grumpy with me because I [made] the substitution,” the City boss told TNT Sports.

Foden has enjoyed arguably the best season of his young career so far this campaign, netting 32 goal involvements in all competitions as Manchester City go for an unprecedented second consecutive treble.

The 23-year-old was once again on hand to fire home a remarkable effort in the dramatic affair at the Bernabeu, in which City twice gave up a lead to an efficient Madrid side.

Speaking again before the clash with Luton, Guardiola remained coy on the availability of Foden, telling reporters: "I didn't see the team, I didn't speak with the doctors, we have training this afternoon, and we have a meeting and we will see how they feel."

City will also be without Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake for the visit of the Hatters as Guardiola continues to navigate a testing period of fixtures without two of his most important defensive players.
