Brentford Boss Thomas Frank Hails Foden as Potential Ballon d’Or Winner

Brentford manager Thomas Frank expresses his belief that Phil Foden could become the fourth English player to win the Ballon d’Or facing him as his team plays against Manchester City. Foden’s hat-trick in their previous encounter impressed Frank who sees him as a strong candidate for the prestigious award. 

The last Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or was Michael Owen in 2001 with Kevin Keegan and Stanley Matthews being the only others to achieve this honor. Frank praises Foden’s skills describing him as a versatile player with a good mentality contributing significantly to his team’s success.

Despite Brentford’s previous victories over City they face the challenge with an injury-hit squad including the absence of key defender Ethan Pinnock.
