John Stones forced to miss England training with illness just days before Euro 2024 opener against Serbia
JOHN STONES has MISSED England training through illness just days before the Three Lions Euro 2024 opening game against Serbia.
Gareth Southgate has been left with a selection headache after he was forced to axe Harry Maguire from his squad through injury.
But he may now be forced into another selection change if Stones does not recover from his illness before Sunday’s game.
All 26 players from Southgate’s squad were able to train on Tuesday, which was their first session after arriving at their camp in Germany.
Stones went off of the Three Lions final warm-up game against Iceland with an injury.
And while he appears to have avoided aggravating the knock, the Manchester City defender has now fallen foul of illness.
The remaining 25 players present in Germany all trained with no issue as preparation for the match against Serbia continues.
Stones, 30, has played 72 times for England, scoring three goals.
