Manchester City’s John Stones has struggled with injury issues this season, missing 14 games due to a hip problem, but now he is back to full fitness, feeling good, and ready to give everything to the team.
Stones confessed that it has been difficult for him from the start of the season but he tries to maintain a positive mindset. After a difficult start, Stones is now looking forward to the last few stages of the season.
Stones told Man City: “I feel really good. It’s been really difficult from the start of the season with picking up injuries.
Stones’ on-field presence is crucial for City, as his absence was felt this season. He was a crucial player in the City side last season that won the treble. Stones had taken on a new role in the team, which proved to be vital to the team’s success.
City’s struggles didn’t just come from Stones’ absence, but also from integrating Erling Haaland into the team after his move from Borussia Dortmund.
The team faced growing pains as they adjusted to Haaland’s playing style, but Stones’ ability to adapt to a new position in the midfield during possession helped solve those problems.
His ability to seamlessly play in two different positions was instrumental in City’s remarkable upturn in form, ultimately leading to a Player of the Match performance in the Champions League final.
It is fair to say that City’s achievements last season were profoundly impacted by Stones’ contributions, making his return to full fitness essential to the team’s potential success this year.
This has been a challenging period for Stones, but his return to full fitness will undoubtedly boost City’s chances of success in the final stages of the season. With Stones back to his best, City can look forward to improved performances in the upcoming matches.
