England's John Stones has reflected on a difficult personal build-up to the Euros, which has seen the centre-back suffer from injury and illness in the week leading up to Sunday’s opener against Serbia.The 30-year-old Manchester City man suffered an early foot injury during the 1-0 friendly defeat to Iceland last Friday.He played on until half-time before coming off but was ultimately passed fit to travel to Germany, only to then miss a day of training having been laid low by illness.
“It was almost like my big toe in the line straight down my foot and you think ‘I have fractured it’. You think the worst at the start and we got some scans back and really minor stuff and came through it, which is great.”After being passed fit, Stones suffered another setback when illness struck not long after his arrival in Germany, sidelining him from training as he isolated away from his team-mates.“I felt quite alone, to be honest,” he said.“You are not at home, no-one around you.
