London: Pep Guardiola believes Phil Foden is set to emerge from his slump after the Manchester City forward admitted he has been suffering from burnout.
Foden was a key figure in City's Premier League title triumph last season, scoring 27 goals in all competitions to earn the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year award.
The 24-year-old has struggled to recapture that dynamic form this season and has started only one league game so far.
Foden revealed he has felt fatigued after his draining role in City's title success was immediately followed by England's run to the Euro 2024 final.
With little time to rest, he has been a shadow of himself after playing 69 games for club and country last term.
