Let's see.

Fingers crossed. Would love him and Dias for the dipper game

 

[Mr HJ]

Let's see.

I think John himself would have not wished to aggravate even the most minor of a twinge - he knows he has to keep hold of the shirt for the crucial run in. Be out injured and he may not get back in so easily - Mr Stones understands his priorities ha!

Let's see.

Yeah and he better not be anywhere near the England side on Tuesday night ..

Agreed.

Time for Pep to have a quiet word with Southgate

 

[Ghost of 76]

TBF, I don't think Southgate would take any such risk for a friendly.

 

[Len Rum]

Excellent news.
Stonesy leaving the England squad and returning to City as a precaution.
Still think Pep will go Laporte/ Ake against the Cloggers.

Thankfully, sense has prevailed. No problems with playing Ake and Laporte on Saturday.

Otherwise if he had been fit we’d have played him but as a good will gesture we have released him early and if he’s not fit for the weekend tough luck ..England..
