Gareth Southgate gives upbeat John Stones injury news for Man City

Many Blues supporters were quick to jump onto social media to share their rage that the 27-year-old was injured before a game which was little more than a friendly, adding to Pep Guardiola's worries in defence with Ruben Dias having been sidelined recently. However, City will have welcomed Southgate's comments at full time.
