Phil Foden is no longer guaranteed a place in the England squad for this summer’s World Cup in the USA.<\/p>\n

That’s according to bookmakers Ladbrokes and Coral who have drifted the Manchester City attacker out to 4\/9 to make the plane.<\/p>\n

Foden played just two minutes of Sunday’s draw against Tottenham as he struggles to win Pep Guardiola over once again.<\/p>\n

Pep’s Cold Shoulder<\/h2>\n

Once considered one of the first names on the Three Lions’s team sheet, Phil Foden is seeing his World Cup dreams turn into nightmares.<\/p>\n

It’s the same old story at the Etihad for the player who was around 1\/20 to dust off his passport.<\/p>\n

Despite Foden being the PFA Player of the Year not so long ago, he’s currently finding himself as the world’s most expensive benchwarmer.<\/p>\n

Pep’s “rotation” has turned into a semi-permanent vacation for Foden, and punters are smelling blood in the water.<\/p>\n

With Tuchel demanding “rhythm and robustness,” the lack of minutes is becoming a concern.<\/p>\n

“Foden at 4\/9 is the drift of the decade,” says one top oddsmaker. “A year ago, you couldn’t get a price on him. Now? People are actually betting on him to stay at home. It’s madness.”<\/p>\n

England World Cup Squad Odds: Solanke Betting Surge<\/h2>\n

While Foden is being left out in the cold, things have been warming up for Dominic Solanke.<\/p>\n

The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored again at the weekend making it four goals in four games for the former Bournemouth man.<\/p>\n

The goals came as a slight boost to manager Thomas Frank who is still a short price in the Premier League Sack Race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His injury woes appear to behind him and bookmakers have quickly slashed away at the 10\/1 that was available on him making the squad.<\/p>\n

Providing they are fit, Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins are guaranteed to go to the World Cup and Solanke could be joining them.<\/p>\n

Bellingham In Tears<\/h2>\n

Another tentative odds drift from over the weekend was Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham (1\/4).<\/p>\n

Bellingham was forced off the pitch in tears during the win against Rayo Vallecano and some fans fear the worst.<\/p>\n

Odds have quietly drifted on the 22-year-old but if scans come back showing a bad injury then expect his price to move alarmingly in the coming days.<\/p>\n

It could then be a race for time for the former Birmingham City ace to prove he is not only recovered but also match fit.<\/p>\n

England Wingers Firing<\/h2>\n

Bukayo Saka pulled out of Arsenal’s routine victory over Leeds in the warm-up at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s quadruple odds were slashed<\/a> following that win.<\/p>\n

And Mikel Arteta insists Saka’s injury is not a major concern but it didn’t stop England’s wingers doing their best to step up this weekend.<\/p>\n

Jarrod Bowen (10\/11), Anthony Gordon (1\/3) and Noni Madueke (11\/10) all found the net although only the latter enjoyed victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
