England's Stones doubtful for Serbia clash with stomach bug

England defender John Stones is a doubt for Thursday's Euro 2024 clash with Serbia after being struck down by a stomach bug.

The Manchester City center-back missed training on Wednesday and is being assessed by the team's medical staff.

Stones is a key part of England's defense and his absence would be a blow to Gareth Southgate's side.

England got off to a winning start to Euro 2024 with a 1-0 win over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday.

However, they will be looking to improve their performance against a Serbia side who pushed them all the way in the first half.

Southgate is expected to make changes to his team for the Serbia game, with Stones likely to be replaced by Eric Dier or Harry Maguire.

England will be hoping to secure a place in the knockout stages with a win over Serbia.
