Man City defender Stones sent home from England duty

John Stones has returned to Manchester City after suffering an injury with England.

The defender was injured in the warm-up prior to Saturday's friendly win over Switzerland.

"John Stones has left the England camp and returned to Manchester City," read an FA statement on Monday.

"Having withdrawn from the starting line-up ahead of Saturday's 2-1 victory against Switzerland at Wembley, the defender has continued to be assessed.

"After today's session at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground, it was decided that Stones would play no part against Côte d'Ivoire on Tuesday and has returned to his club as a precaution."
