England coach Southgate delivers Stones injury update

Manchester City defender John Stones was withdrawn from England's friendly against Belgium early in the first half.

Stones was unable to play much of a role in the eventual 2-2 draw between the two European nations.

As City prepare to take on Arsenal in the Premier League on March 31st, they may have to do so without Stones.

England coach Gareth Southgate stated post-game: "It's more adductor area.

“We didn't take any chances with it.

“He felt something so we got him off straight away but hopefully he'll be ok."
