John Stones issues four-word answer on injury ahead of Manchester City’s Arsenal clash

Manchester City’s John Stones has issued his first response to questions on his latest injury setback whilst leaving Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night.

The 29-year-old was withdrawn inside the opening 10 minutes of England’s international friendly meeting with Belgium at the national stadium, sustaining what has now been confirmed to be an adductor problem.

It is the latest in a troublesome season for Manchester City’s defensive and midfield mainstay, and comes at a time when Pep Guardiola will almost certainly be wanting to call on a player who emerged as being crucial in their Treble success last campaign.
