John Stones was forced to pull-out of the starting XI after feeling a twinge in the warm-up before kick-off and was replaced by Arsenal's Ben White.Phew.
Sounds positive from waistcoat.
Southgate says Stones "felt something" before the game and it was decided not to risk him, though he may be considered for the clash with Ivory Coast on Tuesday.
"We don't think it is too bad and could be ready for the next game," said Southgate. "(There was) no point risking him in a game like this."
