Phil Foden admitted he is still feeling burned out following a long Manchester City season and the Euros in the summer. Foden has only started four matches this season.
\"Last year there were so many games,\" Foden said.
\"I put everything I could into it. I came back a little bit fatigued, which is normal. Rodri came back like that as well, a few players.
\"It\'s normal how many games we play -- you have to burnout at some point. I\'m making steps in the right direction and trying to get back to my best.\"
Foden played in 69 matches for club and country last season and was named the Premier League\'s best player as City won their fourth straight league title.
\"I had a bit of fatigue coming back from last year, a bit of illness,\" Foden added.
\"A few niggles as well. A few things added together. But if you speak to any player they\'ve all been through it, the ups and downs of football. It was just a bump in the road if you like, I\'m delighted I\'m back and enjoying my football.\"
