Phil Foden scratches his head after his exclusion from the England World Cup team as he goes on another shopping spree with girlfriend Rebecca Cooke

 was left scratching his head on Thursday at his exclusion from the England World Cup team as he goes on another shopping spree in Manchester. 

The Manchester City footballer, 26, stepped out with girlfriend Rebecca Cooke, after he missed out on a place in 's team.

And continuing to make the most of his summer break Phil enjoyed more shopping with girlfriend Rebecca.

He cut a casual figure in a blue Nike tracksuit top and matching bottoms as he splashed the cash in designer clothing store Norton Barrie. 

The midfielder kept comfortable in a pair of bold pink £219 Nike shoes while Rebecca kept low-key in a checked jacket and black leggings.  

Phil looked serious as he scratched his head while chatting away to his long-term girlfriend after blaming 'mental fatigue' for his poor form this season.

When asked if he was watching the England game, he replied: 'Yes, great result'.

Phil and Rebecca have been childhood sweethearts since their teenage years, after meeting at a party. They are parents to three children.

The couple welcomed their first child, Ronnie, in 2019, followed by their daughter, True, in 2021 and their second son in June 2024.

England got off to the worst start possible on Wednesday night by going 1-0 down in the seventh minute after goalie Jordan Pickford failed to save Brian Cipenga's DR Congo goal.

Luckily captain Harry Kane scored two goals after the 70th minute to lift the Three Lions to a 2-1 win of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

England will now face co-hosts Mexico at their Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on Monday, July 6 (01:00 BST).

Phil was left out of Tuchel's World Cup squad last month, following an underwhelming domestic campaign.

The midfielder registered 10 goals and seven assists for City, but England's German manager chose to leave him out in favour of Morgan Rogers, Jude Bellingham and Eberechi Eze.

Earlier this season, Foden blamed 'mental fatigue' for his poor form. 'I just need a few weeks off it without playing football and obviously I can't get it at the moment,' he said.

Speaking at Tommy Fury's boxing fight earlier this month, Phil said he was still looking forward to tuning in to the tournament from home.

'I'm looking forward to it,' he said. 'Obviously I'm going to watch England. I hope they do well, I'm rooting for them. I believe they can win it.'

However Foden's Man City teammate Nico O'Reilly, who is set to feature in his first World Cup, revealed that the England ace was 'gutted' to have missed out on the tournament.

Speaking to reporters at England's plush team hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, over the weekend, O'Reilly said: 'I spoke to Phil and he's gutted. I've played with both [Foden and Cole Palmer] and they're amazing.

'It's unfortunate for them not to make the squad and they'll be gutted but now is the time to rest and be ready for next season.'

The couple previously sparked engagement rumours when Rebecca was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her ring finger last year.

At the time, it was reported that the Premier League star whisked Rebecca away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year's Eve, where he reportedly proposed.

In photos, Rebecca - who has been with Phil since they were both teenagers - is seen trying to conceal the large ring while out and about.

'The pair of them have been together since they were young and their family and friends have been expecting them to get engaged for a while,' a source told The Sun.

'The time seemed right for Phil to pop the question. He took her away to Paris for New Year's Eve and when they came back Rebecca had a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.'

They continued: 'The ring is absolutely huge. It's a massive diamond. She loves it and she's very proud of wearing it although she hasn't announced anything about it.'
