Manchester City defender John Stones, who was forced off at half-time during the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, will be fit to face Brighton on Thursday. Stones, who was pictured training with the squad earlier in the week, is expected to be available for the match on the south coast. Although the injury was initially a concern, it appears to have been only a minor knock, increasing the likelihood of Stones starting at the Amex.
Stones’ return will be a boost for Manchester City as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title. The 29-year-old has been a key player for City this season, forming a solid defensive partnership with Ruben Dias. His presence in the backline will provide stability and leadership as City look to secure three points against Brighton and maintain their lead at the top of the table.
With Stones fit and available for selection, Manchester City will be in a strong position as they enter the final stretch of the season. The defender’s return will give manager Pep Guardiola more options for his starting lineup and increase the team’s chances of success in both domestic and European competitions. Stones’ fitness will be a key factor in City’s quest for silverware as they look to cap off a successful season with multiple trophies.
