The Manchester City defender was called up to the squad in the World Cup qualifying matches this month against Andorra and Serbia.
However, the England boss stated on Friday morning that Stones had left the Three Lions’ camp, one day prior to the match against Andorra at Villa Park.

The 31-year-old came to the training camp with a “muscular issue” that hasn’t gotten better, so Tuchel stated he doesn’t want to take any chances with him.
According to the Daily Express, Tuchel said: “He came with minor issues – muscle issues – to camp and didn’t progress as we thought and hoped he would, so he left camp this morning.”
