Manchester City and England defender John Stones has opened up about the toll of recurring injuries last season, admitting he considered walking away from football at one point.
The 31-year-old centre-back was restricted to just 11 Premier League appearances during the 2024/25 campaign, plagued by persistent foot and hamstring issues.
The latter sidelined him from February onward and kept him out of the national team setup for nearly a year.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Stones revealed the physical and emotional challenges that led him to question his future in the game.
