John Stones back into contention for a place in England squad at rescheduled Euro 2020 after impressive return to form at Manchester City... with Gareth Southgate a huge fan of centre back

Manchester defender John Stones has propelled himself back into Euro 2020 reckoning following his impressive return to form.

Having lost his place as a regular starter under Pep Guardiola, central defender Stones has not been named in one of Gareth Southgate's squads since November 2019.

But the 26-year-old is back playing regularly at the Etihad, which has not gone unnoticed by England boss Gareth Southgate.
