England miss Harry Maguire but reason for second snub explained as defensive 'worry' remains in bid for 2026 World Cup glory

Starts opener Stones recorded a tackle and one clearance in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Stones would be given the start at center-back Wednesday after some questions of who would be in the defense, topping Marc Guehi, Dan Burn and Jarell Quansah for the spot. His shift left a little more to be asked for, especially after conceding twice. Moving forward, the big question will be whether he remains in this spot, as Guehi will likely be eyeing a starting role.

England center back John Stones confirms he's leaving Man City after trophy-laden decade in emotional video

Set for Summer exit Stones is expected to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, according to Sky Sports.

Impact Stones looks to be ending his illustrious career with Manchester City at the end of the 2025/26 season, serving a great 10 years with the club. Following a controversial transfer to the club in 2016 due to the hefty price tag for the era, he came through as a critical player in may great seasons, most importantly playing a major role in the treble season with his unusual spot in the holding midfield. He had established himself in the defensive rotation for almost every season with the club, not falling off until the past two seasons where he has only earned 18 league appearances. If the club's long time defender does leave, he ends his time playing in 292 matches while bagging 19 goals and nine assists. He would fill up his trophy cabinet as well, earning a UCL title, six Premier League titles, five Carabao Cup trophies and two FA Cups, potentially earning a third to end the season.

Unused from bench Stones (calf) was unused from the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win over Arsenal.

Impact Stones was back in the matchday squad Sunday but will have to wait for his actual return, as he went unused in the highly important match, where he was likely to see minimal time in either way. After multiple spells with injury, he will hope to just end the season fit, only appearing in seven league games all season. However, he has only started in four of those games, likely to see time but in more of a rotational role.

Could resume partial training Stones (calf) could take part in partial training Friday as he continues his recovery, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "Today, maybe he will do partial training. We'll see."

Impact Stones has been sidelined since leaving the England camp early with a calf issue, and while the prospect of partial training is a step in the right direction, a return to competitive action is still likely a few weeks away for him. City are already managing without Ruben Dias (hamstring) and Josko Gvardiol (fracture) at the back, making Stones' prolonged absence a genuine concern for coach Guardiola heading into the final stretch of the season. Marc Guehi and Abdukodir Khusanov have been covering in central defense in the meantime, with no timeline yet confirmed for when Stones might be ready to feature again.

Out to face Liverpool Stones (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Liverpool.

Impact Stones was unable to get back in time after leaving the England camp early with a calf issue, with England manager Thomas Tuchel raising the red flag earlier in the week. City will now lean on Marc Guehi, who is eligible to play in the FA Cup despite his January move from Crystal Palace, to step in and plug the hole at center-back. It's a tough break for a team trying to make a late title push, though Stones' absence doesn't shake up the starting XI too much since he had mostly been working in a rotational role this season.

Uncertain for FA Cup Stones (calf) is uncertain to be available for the FA Cup clash against Liverpool on Saturday, according to Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of The Standard.

Impact "It's not ideal for John and not ideal for us, of course," said England manager Thomas Tuchel at a news conference earlier in the week when speaking about Stones' calf problem. The center-back could be held out of this Liverpool match if he's not 100 percent healthy, especially since Marc Guehi is available to feature in FA Cup matches despite his January move from Crystal Palace.

Departs international duty Stones has departed international duty with the Three Lions due to an issue and is set for assessment, according to his national team.

Impact Stones had been known to be dealing with a calf issue and had left the England national team after their first friendly, returning to Manchester for assessment. This is likely cautionary as City pushes to make a late run at the league title, not wanting to risk further injury. In most outlooks, the defender is likely to train again this week and join City ahead of their FA Cup tie against Liverpool.

Doubtful with calf discomfort Stones is questionable for England's friendly against Uruguay while he deals with a calf injury, Ian Dennis of BBC Sport reports.

Impact Stones has barely played in 2026 after struggling to recover from muscle problems, with his only appearances coming in FA Cup action on Feb. 14 and March 7, respectively. The defender might be sidelined over the international break, but the full extent of his injury remains unknown. In any case, all of Marc Guehi, Ruben Dias (hamstring) and Abdukodir Khusanov are currently expected to stay ahead of Stones among City's center-back options.
