Phil Foden Brings in Personal Chef to Tackle Health Concerns and Boost Performance
Manchester City star Phil Foden is taking his health to the next level by hiring a personal chef at his luxurious new estate in Cheshire to help address low iron levels.
Foden, along with his partner Rebecca Cooke and their three young children, recently moved into a stunning countryside home. Nestled on a sprawling two-and-a-half-acre property, the five-bedroom estate includes a private fishing lake and a charming cottage for visiting family, creating an ideal getaway for the young family.
As reported by The Sun, Foden has added a full-time chef to his staff, who will live in a gatekeeper’s cottage on the property. This arrangement ensures that his dietary and nutritional needs are managed around the clock, crucial for maintaining peak form during the rigors of the Premier League season.
Foden’s mother, Claire, shared insights into his nutritional shift on the Talk Eat Laugh podcast. “The shocking thing is I hear him ordering salmon a lot now, and he never used to eat that!” she remarked. “He used to have low iron levels, but that’s all up to scratch now.”
A source close to Foden revealed more about the chef’s role, saying, “Phil wants to be on top of his nutrition, and the chef has a lovely space to prepare all his meals. It’s the ultimate luxury, and because he’s away a lot with the team, having his own chef means he can just focus on his football and young family.”
Foden’s dedication follows a remarkable season in which he scored 27 goals and provided 12 assists in 53 games, helping City to their fourth consecutive Premier League title. His standout season earned him the PFA Player of the Year award, marking him as one of the brightest talents in English football.
This season, however, has posed different challenges, as Foden has started just three of City’s ten league games so far. Following a surprising defeat to Bournemouth, City now faces Sporting CP in the Champions League, where Foden will be eager to get back to his best and play a key role under Pep Guardiola once more.
