England's Stones out of Andorra and Serbia World Cup qualifiers

Manchester City defender John Stones has withdrawn from the England squad through injury for the upcoming World's Cup qualifiers with Andorra and Serbia, national team manager Thomas Tuchel announced Friday.

The 31-year-old was selected in the original squad for Saturday's match against Andorra in Birmingham and Tuesday's game in Serbia.

Stones has not added to his tally of 83 caps since October and his first camp under German boss Tuchel has now been cut short.

"Unfortunately, John Stones just left," Tuchel told a pre-match press conference on Friday.

"He came with minor issues, muscular issues, to camp and didn't progress as we thought and hoped he would.

"So, he left camp this morning (Friday) because we will not take the risk. Everyone else is available."

Tuchel confirmed England captain Harry Kane will lead the side in the Andorra qualifier.
