Roy Keane hails in-form John Stones for 'maturing and bouncing back' after 'taking his eye off the ball' during rotten spell for Manchester City and says the defender can be 'a big asset' for England at the Euros

Roy Keane has hailed John Stones for 'bouncing back and maturing' after a torrid run of bad displays, with the pundit backing the defender to play a huge part for England at the upcoming Euros.

Stones won his first England call up for more than a year this week after turning his fortunes around at Manchester City - winning his place back in the line-up and helping the team in their bid for the Premier League title.

His form has come at just the right time with a major tournament on the horizon this summer, as the player was picked to start England's first World Cup qualifier against San Marino on Thursday.
