So in his perpetual cycle, he’ll be injured again tomorrow, fit for Saturday and miss the game on Sunday.

John Boy is back so the reports that he wasn't injured was just ill were correct.
Now there might be some proper football from the England team. They've got their best player up and running. ;-) :-)

What the fuck do you expect of Southgate. He is entitled to play his main CD for every important minute of what is a major tournament. Are you suggesting he leaves him on the bench for example against Serbia? Or maybe rest him for the QF?

Wow somebody is in a strop !
I expect a manager of any real ability to be aware of any frailties / injuries a player may be carrying, and to manage their appearances accordingly. Playing Stones in two meaningless friendlies when not 100% fit imo was plainly a stupid and wrong decision.
Southgate doesn't fit the criteria of being a manager with genuine ability, in my opinion - hence the comments.
If you disagree that's fine - go flounce off and sulk.
