It remains to be seen just how bad that problem is for the City and whether he will feature against Manchester United this weekend. "He came with minor issues and didn't progress as we thought and hoped he would, so he left camp this morning," said Thomas Tuchel when asked about Stones' omission from England's two internationals against Andorra and Serbia."
"Omar Marmoush had to be withdrawn on a stretcher during Egypt's clash with Burkina Faso this week, and it has already been made public that he will face an extended period on the sidelines. "Initial results on a scan performed in Egypt indicate he will not be available for the Manchester derby on Sunday, and he will now return to Manchester for more asses"
