Stones feeling ‘great’ after overcoming ‘dark days’

After battling “dark days” for two years with injuries, Manchester City defender John Stones says he now feels better.

Before being forced off with a thigh injury, centre-back Stones last played for City in February, playing only eight minutes in the Champions League play-off defeat against Real Madrid.

After making City’s 27-man squad for the Club World Cup in the United States, the 31-year-old claims to be “back fit” and is “back in shape.”

Stones said, “It’s difficult when you’re injured; you almost work longer and more, so I know the guys have had such a long season mentally and physically. It’s been challenging mentally for me to deal with the wounds and the procedure.

“But now I’ve put that behind me and used this as a mini-introduction before the new year and another trophy to hopefully win and get some game time.”

“I’ve been back in training for a few weeks, and it’s been great.” “I’m trying to do extra running if I need to, to try and raise those levels. Even those tiny, incredibly minor details have changed a lot.

Stones joined City from Everton for £47.50 in 2009 and has spent nine seasons there.

He has won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, and four League Cups, while also being the 83rd England cap. He has also won six of those titles.

Despite having 277 games played for his club, he only managed 13 starts last season, six of which were Premier League.

We all feel things, and we want to get back as quickly as possible, in my opinion. Sometimes you try to push too soon, he said, and that might be that.

Being around them and having their support is what I believe to be the most important aspect of my family’s assistance.

Being in a team sport and not training with the team when you run out on the pitch during your rehab, you can feel very lonely at times when you’re training alone. This is the challenging part of it.

According to Transfermarkt, Stones has missed 164 days and 33 games as a result of his foot, hamstring, and thigh injuries over the last two campaigns.

Stones said, “There have been times where you believe you’ve been giving it your all, you dedicate your entire life to football, especially how I approach or conduct my life,” Stones said, “I give everything” to be here or ready to play games.

Everyone has experienced them, and I wonder, “Why is this happening? ” ‘. You would have preferred a different course of action, but as I already said, there are many things to consider.

What did we do in those circumstances, fight or give up, given that we have all been through various upbringings and difficulties in life?
