In a TikTok video, he boasted to his fishing partner — ITV4’s Monster Carp host Neil Spooner, with Phil: “It’s a big one!”
The midfielder, who played in City’s win yesterday, is a keen angler and plans to swap football for fishing when he retires.
After the Euros, Foden went on a £14-a-day angling holiday on the edge of the Cotswolds.
The £200,000-a-week Man City star snubbed exotic destinations popular with his Three Lions team-mates to spend five days with his dad fishing for carp, catfish, tench, pike and perch.
An onlooker at Linear Fisheries in Witney, Oxfordshire, said: “Phil was happy as Larry camping out in a cheap tent,
“He was so down to earth and was just hell-bent on trying to land himself a carp as the lake has some absolutely enormous ones in it.
“While his England pals were living it up in posh hotels next to beaches, the most luxurious thing Phil had on his holiday was a Portaloo.”
Foden was winding down after the Euros ahead of rejoining the City squad preparing for the new season.
He is an avid angler and has boasted about his big catches on Instagram.
Foden started fishing with his dad, Phil Senior, as a boy and said previously: “It’s the perfect hobby to rest your legs and have some down time.
“Probably about 95 per cent of the football lads don’t enjoy it.
“The odd one likes fishing, so when people find out they say: ‘what a weird sport to enjoy’.
“They don’t understand why you enjoy it.
“Obviously, they need to go and try it.
“I think it’s the perfect hobby to rest your legs and have some down time.”
Foden has shared several of his top catches on social media from his trips to lakes across the UK and in Spain, which was the location of his biggest catch yet - a HUGE 130LB Catfish.
