    Not rated by Pep. Probably be offloaded in the summer. Been paid not to play for weeks now, even though he's fully fit.

    Mr Lee bring him home o_O

    What are you talking about? He has a groin injury, and Pep builds the team around him when fit...

    Saw this......

    He's had injuries, but John Stones has barely played since November. 9 minutes in the league since January and only 3 starts since November. At what point do we start worrying about him for the World Cup?

    He’s just had bad luck with injuries- he’s still Pep’s first choice by far, and tbh an injured stones is still by far England’s best CB. We need to cross our fingers he’ll be fit by then.

    Maybe he's suffering from an iron deficiency?

    Pep spoke of him........

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ma...l-news/man-city-team-news-stones-14375195.amp

    A local reporter has said it's tactical why he's not been playing. We need him back in their side to get him game time for the world cup.

    Stones was comfortably Citys best defender up until his injury in November. Should expect him to be starting week in week out next season if fit.

    He played both England games in March with no sign of injury. Man City would not have released him to the England squad for two friendlies had he been injured. He's just not getting selected at Man City.

    A great example of why we won't win the world cup, our best CH hasn't played in the league in 2018.

    Unless you believe in omens for a consecutive treble. Pep won the league in Spain in 2010 when Spain won the world cup. In 2014 Pep won the league in Germany when Germany won the world cup. In 2018 Pep won the league in England when....

    If John Stones is our best centre back then that in itself sums up why we won't win the world cup.

    Not saying he is or isn't just saying if he is the best we are in a poor state.

    Injured at the moment unless Pep is lying, which he won't be.

    I don’t understand why people think there is this big conspiracy:
    •John Stones is injured
    •He was clearly not at full fitness in March during those England games, so it was really silly to play him
    •The PL is hugely physical, and it would be a massive risk for Pep to rush him back, therefore Pep is quite happy to rely on the (slightly worse) Otamendi for the time being. It’s not like the wins are obscenely vital at this point.

    Pep will want JS ready to go next season. The way to do that is not to push someone back into the team too quickly when they are evidently still suffering; even if there is a chance they might be able to go the 90 minutes.

    John’s obviously a young lad who just wants to play and he won’t want to miss the chance to play for his country in a WC so of course he’s going to do everything he can to rush back from that, even if he’s not quite ready.

    He was rushed back from injury in January because Pep didn’t rate Mangala & Kompany couldn’t play all the games in the busy schedule due to his fitness issues.

    I don’t think he was fully fit when he was back playing & he’s now got injured again.

    I find it hard to believe Pep doesn’t rate him after seeing the world class performances he put in during the first 3 months of the season & his famous speech about Stones having more balls than everyone in this room at a press conference.

    And most importantly Laporte & Kompany are both world class defenders & until the last 3 weeks Otamendi’s been superb all season & has deservedly made the PFA team. Even if Stones is 4th choice there’s no shame in been behind them 3 in the pecking order.
