England boss Gareth Southgate confirms extent of injury to Man City defender John Stones

Manchester City will be waiting eagerly for John Stones' return to the club to assess a hamstring injury he picked up playing for England on Tuesday.

Stones pulled up in the 37th minute of England's Nations League draw with Germany, immediately holding the back of his leg and he was substituted for City teammate Kyle Walker. Stones was able to limp off unaided, but looked visibly upset as he walked down the tunnel at Wembley. England went on to come from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, before conceding a late equaliser in their final game before the World Cup.

And manager Gareth Southgate briefly referenced Stones' injury, confirming it is a hamstring problem — something that could impact City's upcoming fixtures including clashes against Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as England's preparations for the World Cup.
