Manchester City fans have been sharing their reactions as defender John Stones pulls out of the England line-up through injury.
Stones is believed to have picked up the knock during the warm up ahead of England's Qatar World Cup warm up match with Switzerland this evening. Despite Manchester United captain Harry Maguire being on the bench, Gareth Southgate opted for Arsenal's Ben White to take Stones' place in the starting XI.
It is a hammer blow for City with Stones having been an integral part of Pep Guardiola's team in recent weeks. The 27-year-old has started the last three Premier League matches against Everton, Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

Stones' injury also adds another centre-back to the injury list at the Etihad Stadium. City's Ruben Dias is currently suffering with a hamstring injury, which has kept him out of action.
With the Blues competing on three fronts as the season heads into the latter stages of the season, this is the last news Guardiola would have wanted. Here is what City fans have been saying following Stones' injury.
