Out to face Liverpool
Stones (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Liverpool.
Analysis: Stones was unable to get back in time after leaving the England camp early with a calf issue, with England manager Thomas Tuchel raising the red flag earlier in the week. City will now lean on Marc Guehi, who is eligible to play in the FA Cup despite his January move from Crystal Palace, to step in and plug the hole at center-back. It's a tough break for a team trying to make a late title push, though Stones' absence doesn't shake up the starting XI too much since he had mostly been working in a rotational role this season.
Uncertain for FA Cup
Stones (calf) is uncertain to be available for the FA Cup clash against Liverpool on Saturday, according to Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of The Standard.
Analysis: "It's not ideal for John and not ideal for us, of course," said England manager Thomas Tuchel at a news conference earlier in the week when speaking about Stones' calf problem. The center-back could be held out of this Liverpool match if he's not 100 percent healthy, especially since Marc Guehi is available to feature in FA Cup matches despite his January move from Crystal Palace.
