Manchester City Injury News And Expected Return Dates: Updates On John Stones, Mateo Kovacic And 2 Others

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that John Stones is “not close” to returning to match fitness.

The centre-back has been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis which causes pain in the bottom of the feet.

Stones was sidelined with the condition for a few games before the international break, although he did return for the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham last month.


However, he lasted just 45 minutes against Spurs and he missed the subsequent fixtures versus Feyenoord and Liverpool. It doesn’t look like he will play again anytime soon.

Expected Return Date – Unknown
