Pep Guardiola has stressed the importance of John Stones staying fit by revealing he has “never been so angry” as when the Manchester City defender was injured during England’s friendly against Belgium in the spring.
Stones sustained a muscle problem 10 minutes into the 2-2 draw at Wembley on 26 March, causing his withdrawal. It came after he played all of the 1-0 defeat against Brazil three days previously.
