JOHN STONES handed England another BIG injury scare in defence.
The centre-back went off at half-time in Friday’s final warm-up game for Euro 2024 against Iceland at Wembley.
Fans online reacted with despair after the Manchester City hero was replaced by Ezri Konsa.
Harry Maguire missed the cut for Gareth Southgate’s 26-man squad due to his calf problem.
And fellow central defender Lewis Dunk was forced to sit out the friendly as he’s still a week of full fitness.
Meanwhile, left-back Luke Shaw could also be sidelined from main action for several more days.
And with England due to open their Euros bid against Serbia on June 16, one supporter posted: “If John Stones is injured as well, we may as well not even go.”
A Channel 4 reporter suggested the 30-year-old “looked to be walking ok in the tunnel”.
But the last thing Southgate needs is more injury doubts at the back.
