In the European preliminaries of the World Cup on November 14, Foden came off the bench and provided an assist to help England defeat Serbia 2-0. He accepted an interview with the media after the game.

Back in the England squad

It feels great to be back, it's great to be playing alongside such great players and I'm enjoying it.

As the false 9 position

I think I performed well and created several opportunities. Overall, I'm satisfied with the role I played. It's great to be able to play as a false 9. Maybe this position brings out the best in me, time will tell. As I said, I was happy to play in this role and my teammates managed to create space for me. It was a great team performance with quality players on the pitch and my smile came back.
