Manchester City have issued a statement regarding footage that has circulated on social media showing Phil Foden and his family 'being harassed and abused'.

On Saturday night, Foden's entourage were involved in a backstage fight at the Kell Brook vs Amir Khan event in Manchester.

Footage appears to show Foden's mum, Claire, being hit by fan who abused the England international in a corridor outside their executive box at the AO Arena.

At the start of the clip, a fan can be heard calling the England international a 'c**t'. Foden then enters into a nearby room with his girlfriend and family.

Moments later, Foden's mother appears from the room to confront the men, asking 'who's calling him'.

After a brief exchange, she pushes one of them before the person involved takes a swing at her. Things quickly escalated from that moment on, with a fire extinguisher being used in the brawl.

Foden's boyhood club Manchester City have since released a statement regarding the clip, saying they are "shocked and appalled" by the incident.

"We are shocked and appalled about the nature of the abuse and ensuing assault on one of Phil’s family member.

"We will continue to give Phil and his family all the support and assistance they need.”
