He would be a popular choice to kick off England's last-16 tie against Senegal on Sunday, but so far the youngster admitted his World Cup had been a "mixed bag", reports Xinhua.

Speaking to the BBC, Foden said the World Cup had been "up and down."

"I am disappointed not to start more games but it is part of the tournament. I am a team player and when I get the opportunities, I'll take them," he said.

Foden said the depth of the England squad is one of the reasons that playing time is so hard to come by.

"Everyone is scoring and everyone has proved a point so it will be a headache for Gareth (Southgate) to pick the team for the next game," he admitted.
