Withdraws from England squad
Stones (strain) has withdrawn from the England squad as a precautionary measure, coach Thomas Tuchel said in a press conference, according to Manchester City. "Unfortunately, John [has] just left. He came with minor muscle issues to camp and didn't progress the way we thought and hoped he would so he left camp this morning because we will not take the risk against Andorra and also unfortunately against Serbia."
ANALYSIS
Stones is dealing with minor muscle issues and has withdrawn from the England training camp as a precaution. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, and if nothing more serious is found, he should be able to make the match squad for next Sunday's derby against Manchester United. That said, if he has to miss some time, Nathan Ake or Abdukodir Khusanov could see increased playing time in the backline.
