Stones could require surgery on thigh injury

Manchester City defender John Stones is facing the possibility of needing surgery to repair a thigh injury that has kept him out of action for several weeks.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during the Premier League match against Leicester City in late September and has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation ever since.

Despite the best efforts of the medical team, Stones has not been able to fully recover and it now looks likely that he will have to undergo surgery to fix the problem.

This news comes as a blow to City manager Pep Guardiola, who has been relying on Stones as a key member of his defence this season.

Stones’ absence has been keenly felt by the team, with City conceding more goals in recent matches than usual.

If Stones does indeed require surgery, he could be sidelined for several months, which would be a major setback for both him and the team.

However, the priority now is for Stones to regain full fitness and return stronger than ever to help City in their quest for silverware.

We wish John Stones a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the pitch soon.
