The individual who is 29 years old played the entire 90 minutes of England's loss to Brazil, and he was one of only five players who did so. He also participated in England's game against Belgium but only lasted ten minutes before being taken off during the friendly.

During the Three Lions' last match before the European Championships this summer, Joe Gomez from Liverpool replaced Stones and Ezri Konsa moved to play as centre-back. At the end, Jude Bellingham saved the day by securing a 2-2 draw.

Gareth Southgate was uncertain about the extent of Stones' problem, however, he announced at his after-game media conference that the City protector had encountered an adductor injury. This will have made Pep Guardiola concerned for the upcoming high-profile match at the Etihad on Sunday.

At the beginning of the season, Stones was absent from 11 games for City due to a hip issue. However, he has since been a reliable member of the team. The previous year's treble champions are currently competing on three fronts: the Premier League, the Champions League, and the FA Cup.

According to a report in The Daily Star, Manchester City is in for bad news as Stones might not make it to the crucial game this weekend due to his injury.

According to reports, the football player from England is feeling doubtful about his prospects of participating in matches after having scans in Manchester. This season, he has been playing in midfield under Guardiola.

Kyle Walker, a fellow member of Stones' team, is also in a critical race to recover from a hamstring injury he sustained during England's first warm-up match against Brazil in preparation for Euro 2024. His goal is to be fit in time for their upcoming game against the Gunners.

The defender had to leave the game early, just after playing for 20 minutes. To fill in his spot, Konsa, a defender from Aston Villa took over. Meanwhile, Endrick came in and managed to score the sole goal of the match at Wembley.

It is anticipated that Kevin De Bruyne will be fit to play against Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad after sitting out of Manchester City's win over Newcastle due to a groin injury before the international break.

According to reports, Arsenal is optimistic about competing with a powerful team that includes Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Gabriel Martinelli. However, there are concerns about their physical condition.

It is yet uncertain if Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu will be able to participate, as they played in a match against QPR behind closed doors last week.

Partey played for an hour after being absent for multiple months due to hamstring injury, whereas Tomiyasu was able to play for 45 minutes to recover from his muscle problem.
