Makes one block in win Stones made one block in 77 minutes of Sunday's 3-0 win over Senegal.
Impact Stones didn't complete the full 90 but didn't need to with the game well in hand. He'll have to be more busy in a quarterfinal matchup against France, though he's done well to help concede no goals in the last three games.

Consistent starter Stones started and played 90 minutes in each of England's group stage matches at the 2022 World Cup.
Impact Stones has been the rock of the England defense, the only player other than Jordan Pickford to play every minute in the group stage. The center-back has also found his way into the box to get on the end of crosses, with three shots in the group stage.

Goes distance in loss Stones created two chances and put three shots off target during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Brentford.
Impact Stones and defensive partner Manuel Akanji practically did more work in the attack than in their assigned position, giving up two goals to a dominant Ivan Toney during a loss just before the World Cup. That's not enough to take Stones out of the English national team as he's earned a call-up for the winter tournament and figures to be a first-choice center-back, just as he was alongside Harry Maguire en route to the Euro finals in 2021.

On bench Saturday Stones (hamstring) made the bench for Saturday's match against Brighton.
Impact Stones can feature after training late in the week before this match. He hasn't played in over a month but there are still plenty of chances for Stones to build up his fitness before the World Cup as he did start in six-of-seven games before his injury.

Could be option Saturday Stones (hamstring) has been in training the last two days ahead of Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact Stones probably won't start with only a couple days of training in him, but he could be an option off the bench Saturday. He'll likely make an appearance or two before getting a start and with a bevy of matches ahead, the starts should come at some point before the World Cup break hits.

Training with team Stones (hamstring) returned to training with Manchester City on Thursday ahead of the clash against Brighton at the weekend.
Impact Stones has missed City's last three Premier League matches since suffering a hamstring injury with England during the September international break, but he is getting closer to returning to action as he's now back with the squad in training. With Kyle Walker (groin) still out, Stones' return will provide more options in central defense and, crucially, at right-back.

Could be back next week Stones (hamstring) could return to training next week, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "John I think will be back, I don't know when but maybe one week, maybe ten days."
Impact Stones has been out since before the international break and a month-long timeline would have him returning next week, which aligns with Guardiola's information. He'll probably still miss the next three matches, but a return to the squad should happen before the end of the month, giving City a bit more depth on the back line.

Out with hamstring injury Stones (hamstring) will up to two weeks with a hamstring injury, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "It will not be 4, 5, 6 weeks, will be less. I don't know when he will come bac...
Impact It sounds like a tweak for Stones, which may only keep him out a couple weeks. Stones had started six of the last seven matches across league and UCL, so his absence is a definite blow to back line depth. The good news for City is that Aymeric Laporte is edging closer to a return.

Nets equalizer in UCL win Stones scored one goal on one shot and created one chance on one cross during Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
Impact Stones fired a right-footed belter into the top right corner in the 80th minute to even the score at 1-1 in this contest. The keeper didn't react until the ball was already in the net. Up until that point, City were largely sleepwalking through the match, but the goal seemed to inject energy into his squad. Stones isn't typically leaned on for much offensive output, but fantasy owners will certainly be pleased with the result.
