John Stones Withdraws Amid Injury Concerns…
Manchester City has been delivered another blow as centre-back John Stones retreats from England’s team due to muscle issues. Apparently, Stones’ muscles are so sensitive you’d think they’re training for a world origami championship. England’s leader, Thomas Tuchel, chose not to gamble on Stones for upcoming World Cup qualifiers, although he practiced earlier. Stones, who played relentlessly at Brighton, is steering clear of risking another muscle tango as City plans for the season.
In a comical twist, it appears Manchester City’s injury list is longer than a giraffe’s neck! Stones joins Abdukodir Khusanov, Rico Lewis, and Nico O’Reilly who all have stepped out of international duty. Pep Guardiola seems to have his hands full with upcoming derby clashes, considering even Phil Foden couldn’t dodge this injury bug. With some players like Savinho returning to training, City’s hoping their squad won’t vanish into a puff of smoke before the whistle blows. Stay tuned for Guardiola’s updates!
