Overview
- Stones picked up the problem during Inter’s 5-3 win over Udinese on Monday and was substituted in the 62nd minute before undergoing tests.
- Inter said clinical and diagnostic exams at Istituto Humanitas in Rozzano revealed a muscle strain to the flexor muscles of his left thigh.
- Italian outlets and club-linked reports estimate a three- to four-week layoff that could stretch to about a month, though Inter gave no fixed timetable.
- As a result he will miss Inter’s next match against Roma and has been reported unavailable for England’s immediate Nations League fixtures.
- Stones joined Inter in July after a long spell at Manchester City, his history of muscle issues makes recovery timing cautious, and the club will reassess him in the coming days.
