Overview
- Stones pulled up while chasing Keinan Davis and asked to be substituted in the 62nd minute of Inter’s 5-3 win, a development reported on Monday.
- Inter coach Cristian Chivu said Stones “felt something in his flexor,” but the club has not released a formal medical diagnosis.
- Italian outlets have suggested a hamstring issue, though that remains unconfirmed and medical tests are pending.
- The timing matters because Inter face AS Roma before the international break and England’s manager is due to name a squad this Friday, so clarity on Stones’ fitness will shape both selections.
- Stones joined Inter this summer after an injury-hit spell at Manchester City, and his recent history of repeated muscle and foot problems raises concern that this complaint could require a longer spell out if confirmed.
