Euro 2016 qualifiers

Defender John Stones will miss England's final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania with a knee injury.

The 21-year-old Everton centre-back sat out Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw with Liverpool at Goodison Park.

England manager Roy Hodgson has brought in Tottenham's Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker as cover.

Bet Townsend is looking forward to a run-out in the middle of defence!

So the CB Stones was going to play out wide?

Makes sense.

 

It would if Steve Bruce was England manager, it's exactly the type of thing he does.

 

I can just about see Walker making sense, as Woy has dabbled with Stones RB in the past. It might even be an indication that he's not inclined to play Jones at RB any more (fingers crossed).

I can only assume Townsend is in as cover for someone else who's doubtful.

 

Only when Clyne and Walker are injured should Stones be used as a right back.

However Stones is out so i expect to see a back four of CLYNE - JAGIELKA - CAHILL - GIBBS.

I also hope that Deli Ali get a go. The game is a dead rubber and we are only playing Estonia ffs.

Hopefully Ings - Vardy and Kane will also start.

4 - 3 - 3

Hart

Cllyne - Jagielka - Cahill - Gibbs

Walcott - Ali - Milner

Ings - Kane - Vardy
