Official: Inter confirm John Stones injury, ex-Man City defender out for weeks
Inter Milan have released an official statement confirming that John Stones, who joined the club after leaving Manchester City, has picked up an injury. The club have indicated the former England international will be out for a number of weeks, dealing a defensive blow to the Nerazzurri mid-season. Stones had been expected to play a key role in Inter's back line following his high-profile switch from the Premier League champions.
Read the full story at football-italia.netLosing a centre-back of Stones' calibre for an extended stretch is a meaningful setback for Inter, particularly given the adjustment period that already comes with a mid-season move from the Premier League. Defensive depth and chemistry become the immediate concern, as Cristian Chivu's side must reconfigure its back line without a player signed precisely to strengthen that area. For Inter's title challenge, the next few weeks of fixtures will test how well the squad can absorb the absence.
