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.
