Foden has not impressed for his national team in the past couple of years, despite having six Premier League titles and a Champions League to his name.
Lescott, speaking to the Filthy Fellas Podcast, said: “It's not a position it's just getting players into areas where they can affect the game.”
“It's like the Trent one,” Lescott said, referencing Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool.
“He doesn't have to be (starting) in midfield but can you get him into those areas of the field where those passes can be made?”
