The Man City defender suffered an ankle blow after just 53 seconds and went off at half-time as England slumped to a disappointing defeat to Iceland
WEMBLEY STADIUM — This was supposed to be a night of feelgood football at Wembley. Instead, it was one of frustration and angst.
Iceland scored once, should have had more and played with a freedom that a team can do when they don’t have a major tournament looming. For England, this was as much a damage limitation exercise as it was a warm-up for Serbia next Sunday, and it’s one that didn’t go particularly well.Gareth Southgate named what looked like a first-choice starting XI, Jordan Pickford, Jude Bellingham and probably Bukayo Saka aside.
Drawing definitive conclusions from a meaningless runaround is futile, but it’s safe to assume that England’s chances of winning the Euros will drop significantly if Stones is unable to play. There was a suitably loud silence inside Wembley when Stones crumpled to the turf in agony after Iceland’s Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson had landed on his right ankle after just 53 seconds. He soldiered on for the rest of the first-half but made way for Ezri Konsa at the interval. Southgate has his first injury concern of the tournament and it hasn’t even started yet.
