England and Man City defender leaves the field in the ninth minute of a friendly

Manchester City and England's central defender, John Stones, sustained an injury during the game.

The Three Lions are playing a friendly match against the Belgium national team. At the very beginning of the game, an unfortunate situation occurred for the English and Manchester City teams. Central defender John Stones suffered an injury in the ninth minute and could not continue the match.

It's worth noting that on August 9, 2016, Stones moved to Manchester City for £47.5 million. In the summer of 2021, he extended his contract with the club until 2026. On May 30, 2014, he made his debut for the England national team, replacing his club teammate Leighton Baines in a friendly match against Peru.

On June 24, 2018, at the World Cup in Russia, he scored his first goals for the national team, netting a brace against Panama in a group stage match (6-1).

Incidentally, another player, Manchester City's right-back and England international, Kyle Walker, suffered an injury in a friendly match against Brazil. The footballer felt unwell during one of the game's moments and left the field. He later returned to the pitch but was unable to continue the match and was substituted after a few minutes.
