00:00John Stones has returned to England training, having missed Wednesday's session with a
00:07sickness bug. Stones, who only recently returned to playing action at Manchester City, was
00:13isolated in his room to prevent the bug spreading. Those in the England camp had placed Lewis
00:18Dunk on standby to start against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday if Stones continued
00:23to miss training, but he returned to full preparations on Thursday ahead of the fixture.
00:30With Stones now back into full training, attention turns to who else will be named in the first
00:34starting eleven. Gareth Southgate is already without usual centre-back Harry Maguire because
00:40of injury, meaning that Mark Gaye of Crystal Palace is likely to be Stones' partner in
00:45Germany starting in the arena of Schalke. Questions still remain about who will start
00:50alongside Declan Rice in midfield. Coming man who Adam Watten and Trent Alexander-Arnold
00:55are the contenders.
