John Stones has revealed he's 'insulted' that England's backline is being viewed as their Achilles heel heading into the World Cup.
Gareth Southgate has named nine defenders in his 26-man squad for Qatar, and is expected to play three central defenders to ensure there is plenty of protection at the back.
England regular Harry Maguire has been out of favour at Manchester United in recent weeks, while Stones and fellow defender Ben White have often been used at right-back at their respective clubs this term, and Kyle Walker has been sidelined with a groin problem.
