Est. Return 12/20/2025
Dealing with thigh injury
Stones (thigh) is dealing with a minor injury and will likely be back soon, assistant coach Kolo Toure said in the press conference. "It was his thigh. That's the problem. I'm sure it wasn't something too big. I think he will be back soon."
ANALYSIS
Stones suffered a thigh injury last week, ruling him out of the last two games across all competitions, but it is likely only a minor issue, as assistant coach Kolo Toure expects him to be back soon. Stones' next chance to make the squad will come against West Ham United next Saturday. That said, Stones has mainly been a bench option this campaign, therefore his absence doesn't have an impact on the starting squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen on signing new deal?
Stones is keen on signing a new deal with Manchester City, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old center-back is one of the longest-tenured players on the Manchester City roster. The defender is set to open talks with Manchester City over a new contract since his current deal due to expire in the summer. City would be open to keep him around as well, as he remains a regular starter at the back despite his advanced age.
