Manchester City has strongly criticized the ill-treatment Phil Foden and his family suffered while off stage at a boxing match between Amir Khan and Kell Brook on Saturday, 19th.
Fracas ensued between unknown members of the public and another group including the 21-year-old player at the AO Arena in Manchester in evening.
Meanwhile, the video footage of the brawl was released on social media eventually.
Pep Guardiola’s team yesterday reacted to the abuse via a statement: “The club is aware of a video which has circulated on social media showing Phil Foden and his family being harassed and abused.”
“We are shocked and appalled about the nature of the abuse and ensuing assault on one of Phil’s family members.”
