John Stones has moved to shut down speculation about his future by saying he wants to remain at Manchester City, though serial injuries caused “dark days” that made him consider whether to play on.
The 31-year-old endured another injury-plagued season in 2024-25, managing only 1,134 minutes in all competitions and six Premier League starts. The defender, who joined City in the summer of 2016, has never made more starts for the club than the 23 he made in his opening campaign.
