Impact Stones has some question marks hanging over his head as England prepares for their Euro 2024 opener after he was held out of training due to illness. However, he is now expected to feature as he was back in training Thursday and is fit, according to his teammate. That said, there is a solid chance the defender gets the start, bolstering the defense after losing Harry Maguire due to injury.

Back to training Stones (illness) is back on the training grounds with England ahead of the opening match against Serbia, per Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail.

Impact Stones can't catch a break as he was forced to miss training with an illness. He is also recovering from an ankle injury as well, though looks to be on the right track as he takes parts of training for a second time. The defender is still set to start at center back, though may be on minutes match depending on his fitness and pace.

Doesn't train due to illness Stones (ankle) was held out of training Wednesday due to an illness, according to the England FA.

Impact Stones' injury woes continue to build up ahead of Euro 2024, as he was now held out of training due to illness after already being affected by an ankle issue. This is likely a minor roadblock for the defender, as he should have plenty of time to heal before their opening match. However, it is still something to monitor heading into the tournament.

Takes part of training Stones (ankle) was seen training with the team Tuesday ahead of Sunday's group stage opener against Serbia, per Simon Peach of PA.

Impact Stone had to be taken off during the friendly with Iceland with a minor ankle knock. The good news is he was seen back training with the team as he is expected to start at center back against Serbia. He was a limited option for Manchester City to end the PL campaign, recording only two starts in four appearances while being an unused sub five times since April 17.

Impact Stones took a knock to the ankle in the first half of Friday's match, forcing his early exit from the field. However, the move was more out of caution, as England did not want to lose another defender for Euro 2024 just after Harry Maguire was forced to withdrawal due to injury. This will be something to monitor heading into the tournament, although it is likely he is only carrying a minor issue and will shake it off by the start of Euro 2024.

Season hindered with injuries Stones appeared in 16 matches (12 starts), registering one goal on four shots to go along with two tackles, 10 interceptions and 20 clearances.

Impact Stones had a huge dip in performance following a breakout season that saw Pep Guardiola move the typical defender to a holding midfielder role. However, much of this can be blamed on his injury woes, as he missed 11 matches due to injury while going unused multiple times on the bench trying to recover from his issues, forcing him out of the starting spot in favor of Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake. He will hope to earn back the starting role next season, although it appears he may be on his way out this off-season, as clubs around Europe are bidding for his services, with Bayern Munich looking to be the leading candidate at the moment.

Registers assist against Madrid Stones assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Stones saw a pretty good showing in his 90 minutes of play Wednesday, as he found Phil Foden in the 66th minute for the club's second goal of the match. This gave Stones his first goal contribution in UCl play this season and his first assist on the campaign. He was kept relatively quiet outside of his goal despite running the whole pitch through the entirety of the match, notching one chance created, a tackle, an interception and two clearances.

Impact Stones made his return to the team sheet Sunday against Arsenal after dealing with a groin injury but did not get any time on the field, as he was purely an emergency option, still appearing to be dealing with a little discomfort. However, there seems to be some hope that he could see some time Wednesday, and if not against Villa, then it looks to be likely he will be on the field for the Crystal Palace tilt on Saturday. Either way, the club will just hope he can reach 100 percent over the next week, as they will want one of their better players in the backline to be healthy for the end of the season as they chase a fourth straight title.

Returns to bench Stones (groin) was on the bench for Sunday's scoreless draw with Arsenal, though he is still recovering, according to manager Pep Guardiola."John will be better soon, I think."

Impact Stones being on the bench was likely only as an emergency substitute as he was originally ruled out for Sunday's match. The defender seems to be progressing quickly in training and could be back on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Aston Villa. It's unclear when he will be fit enough for the starting XI once more, though it seems unlikely for Wednesday's match.

Ruled out Stones (groin) is out for Sunday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Pep Guardiola."Kyle [Walker] and John [Stones] are out."

Impact Stones picked up the injury on international duty and he, alongside England teammate Kyle Walker (undisclosed) are out. Stones has struggled with a variety of injuries throughout the season and this is yet another disappointing setback. Stones will hope to get back on the pitch before a potential April 9 Champions League trip to Real Madrid.

Facing late fitness test Stones (groin) looks to be a game-time decision for Saturday's match against Arsenal, per Skysports.com.

Impact Stones is one of the many City players who appears to be facing a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's contest, as he is still battling with an adductor problem he picked up while on international duty with England. The club will hope all is well and he can take the field in their most crucial contest of the season, as he is an essential part of the team when available, serving as a great two-way player in his 11 starts in 14 league appearances this season. He will also hope to put his injury-filled season behind him and finish the season strong if he returns Saturday, having missed 15 games due to injury this campaign.

Forced off with groin injury Stones was forced off holding his groin during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Belgium.

Impact Stones was in intense pain and lasted just 10 minutes during Tuesday's clash before limping off. This was the final friendly before he returns to Manchester City, but barring a surprise turn around he will be injured for Sunday's clash with Arsenal. Josko Gvardiol could come back into the starting XI with Stones likely injured Sunday.

Nets in draw Stones scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Stones opened the scoring with a rare goal during the first half of Sunday's draw. The defender wasn't overly involved in the attack outside of his goal and spent much of the second half left in his own half. Still the goal is a nice boon for Stones, and most matches moving forward should prove more manageable than Sunday's title clash.

Assists Tuesday Stones provided one assist during Tuesday's FA Cup clash with Luton Town.

Impact Stones was in the starting XI for the third match in a row, and was excellent once more, this time popping up with an assist. The center-back and occasional midfielder has been sublime in his new role, and has only been hampered by injuries. When fit Stones should be a consistent piece of the starting XI in all competitions.

Impact Stones is fit once more and the hope will be that he can stay fit and continue to see major time in the starting XI moving forward. The center-back will be an option both in the back line and in holding midfield depending on the formation. The only concern for Stones will be keeping him healthy, as a variety of injuries have plagued him in the first half of the season.

Available again Stones (ankle) is available for Friday's FA Cup match, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact Stones has been in and out of the treatment room this season and it'll probably take a couple matches before he can get back his full fitness. With Kevin De Bruyne healthy again and Erling Haaland close, it'll almost feel like a new team once February hits. Stones has just five league starts this season and will hope to earn back a consistent role once fully fit.

Out as expected Stones (ankle) "is out" for Saturday's match against Newcastle United, per manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact Stones will continue to remain out after missing last match with an ankle injury. He has only started three times during his last five matches after having been an unused sub his prior three games. The defender has struggled with fitness and injuries all season, resulting in only seven starts in 10 appearance during the first four months of the campaign. Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias will remain the pair at center back for City for the time being.
