It's tragic, a world class player if he stayed fit unfortunately that's never the case. Mind you that seems to apply to all our defenders these days.

Shame about Stones but luckily it's a position we're fully stacked in.
If Ake is used as a FB (in the big games) in February, we'll have 3 fit CBs for 2 positions, provided that they stay fit.

Most teams have 4 for that reason.
add to that all those who complain about not having a settled defence I cannot accept anyone arguing that there is an issue with us having a few injured defenders

Stones will never play a lot of games continuously, neither will Ake .
Its not their fault just one of those things ,we will have to accept it while their both at the club .

He’s world class, but these injuries are so frustrating. He’s had a consistent run in the side as well.
We seem to have lots of players who get injured regularly now

Ake very rarely missed a game before he came to City. Had a hamstring injury late in his last season with Bournemouth but before that he played every week for 3 or 4 seasons.Stones will never play a lot of games continuously, neither will Ake .

It probably hasn't helped at City that he hasn't played consistently. Maybe his injury record improves now he plays every week?

Feel sorry for big John, he’s one of our best players but his body won’t give him a break with injuries, one after the other ..
Of course nothing will be mentioned about our injuries in the press or by the sycophants pretending to be pundits ..

Get well soon. As long as he is back for the run in we'll be fine. Dias had a good rest, now John. A good recharge of the batteries won't do much harm. The extra games in the world cup probably didn't help so a month recuperation is about right. Other clubs will have injuries too.

Hopefully your right,we will find out soon lol! but whatever happens we will manage .Ake very rarely missed a game before he came to City. Had a hamstring injury late in his last season with Bournemouth but before that he played every week for 3 or 4 seasons.

I think rotation is detrimental both individually and collectively,but then there is also the extra games and squad contentment factor at a club like ours.Ake very rarely missed a game before he came to City. Had a hamstring injury late in his last season with Bournemouth but before that he played every week for 3 or 4 seasons.

Generally, we have a great squad. Think we are a bit light in defence now, at least with regard to experienced players. With Stones out injured, we have 5 experienced players for 4 defensive positions in February, and we play every 3 days. Let's hope that we won't have other injuries and that Rico and Gomez will live up to the expectations.

The Akanji signing was such a smart one with Stones injury record.
Crazy to say with Haaland in the side but Akanji is our signing of the season for me, a huge player that came out of nowhere, without him we would have been up sh1t creek.The Akanji signing was such a smart one with Stones injury record.

Could work in our favour to get match fit but as you say Southgate will rip the arse out of having him available.Unfortunately he'll be back for the fuckin International break and play both games or whatever is planned in it.

World class player, but just too injury prone.
