His injury are also due to improper/inadequate training that usually comes with personal problems at home. In his case which was self inflicted. That in some ways are also not pity material.
I also think he will come good if he manages to solve those problems. I hope it is not in another club.
I very much doubt that his injuries are caused by inadequate training / lack of fitness.
Player fitness is monitored constantly during training sessions - heart rate under load, recovery rates, blood pressure, blood oxygen etc.
We have quite possibly the best medical assessment facility in world football. All the latest equipment, so that we can perform the most accurate assessments, and a team of experts who determine whether a player is fit enough to play competitively.
We pay tens of £millions to buy these players and we then pay them £millions in wages - they are assets that we’re careful to maintain and protect - so he wouldn’t get on the bench if he wasn’t proven medically and without doubt to be fit to play.
Thus IMO his injuries are not caused by any failure to train adequately, which is even more of a worry because if they were then that would be easy to correct.
I like John Stones, I think he’s a classy player who often gets pelters he doesn’t deserve (look at his stats).
I always feel that if he could get a decent run if games then I feel he’d settle in and prove to be a good asset.
Maybe I’m struggling to let go eh?
