Manchester City new signing John Stones fit to play against Sunderland


New Manchester City defender John Stones is fit to play against Sunderland in the club’s first Premier League game of the weekend.

Stones joined City from Everton on a six-year deal earlier this week, and reportedly paid around £47.5 million for the England international.


And manager Pep Guardiola revealed that the 22-year-old is ready to make his debut, although £37m winger Leroy Sane will not make the squad.
“Finally we could pick John Stones up and it’s important for us to have a young, English player with a huge talent,” Guardiola told a news conference. “Not just to defend but for the build-up, his intelligence and the ability to play through the lines.
“He’s a good, good player. He’s fit — he played four, five, six friendly games with Ronald Koeman at Everton. Sane didn’t train with us, he’s out — in the next week I think he’ll start to train.
“Stones has had a lack of time with his teammates but he reads the game so there are people who are intelligent. He reads what’s going on and what he needs to do — I think he’s ready.”
