Yet another injury issue has struck a Manchester City defender
Yet another injury issue has struck a Manchester City defender John Stones has once again endured an injury-ravaged season for Manchester City. The silky centre-back has only made 15 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in all competitions. Injuries have destroyed Stones’ season.
The same occurred last season as a variety of injuries restricted Stones to 20 appearances in competitions. Having said that, John Stones, when fit, remains an integral piece of England’s defence. John Stones was selected in England’s squad for their friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
Unfortunately for John Stones he has returned to Manchester City early due to injury. That is a shame for Stones who seems destined to leave City at the end of this season and the hope is that he can feature at the upcoming World Cup for England. John Stones has suffered yet another injury.
Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail has reported via X that a host of players have been released from the England squad early ahead of their friendly against Japan. One of those is John Stones. Gaughan reports that the Manchester City defender has sustained a calf injury.
There is no indication from Gaughan how serious the injury sustained by John Stones is at this stage. John Stones’ card seems marked at Manchester City but hopefully he can make England’s World Cup squad. The contract of John Stones is set to expire at the end of this season.
