Inter’s 5-3 comeback win over Udinese was overshadowed by an injury concern for John Stones, who limped off just after the hour mark, The Guardian reported.
The England centre-back was making his first start after joining Inter on a free transfer this summer. Inter manager Cristian Chivu said Stones would need a full assessment, adding that he thought the player may have felt something in his flexor muscle.
The report leaves Stones’ availability unresolved for now, with further tests expected to determine the extent of the problem.
What remains unconfirmed
- The exact nature and severity of Stones’ injury have not been confirmed.
- His return timeline is not yet known.
