    Not yet, but Phil Jones was hoping to play both this game and the Ecuador game so I reckon he's not as close to fitness as he may have hoped.

    Stones was on the official photo they do all lined up on the plane steps. I counted only 23 players on it, read into that what you will.

    They were 2x2 though, like Noah's animals. He was next to Barkley.

    I'm honestly beginning to think he is fairly close to the 1st team. Roy was eulogising about him after the game on Friday, seemed to be getting emotional about him. Roy is quite clearly very impressed with him.

    I get the impression Roy has been very impressed with him, perhaps more than he thought he'd be after seeing him close up.

    Also looks like there's a question mark over Jones. If they were quite sure he'd be fit they probably wouldn't have bothered giving Stones a game.

    Either way it's a great experience for him.

    He'll go about it in his own quietly confident way. Thats great thing about John, he lets his feet do the talking. Class
