​Man City fullback Walker: England mistake shows how Stones has changed | OneFootball

Manchester City full back Kyle Walker admits John Stones is mentally stronger than he was in the past.

Stones was in the England starting line up against Poland during a crucial World Cup Qualifier on Wednesday.

England were 1-0 up in the game thanks to a Harry Kane penalty, before a Stones error led to Jakub Moder equalising for Poland.

But he recovered and got an assist for Harry Maguire's winning goal from a set piece, ensuring England got all three points in the game.

"That just shows John's character this year," Walker told Sky Sports.

"It's been fantastic. I've worked with him day in, day out at City, and the work he's put in to get to where he is now, the performances he's showing.

"Six months ago, probably John Stones would have not recovered from that, but he goes up the other end and gets an assist for Harry Maguire's winner.

"He's been fantastic this season. That's a credit to him, and the work he's put in off the field, where nobody can see, when he's gone home and done the extra gym, the extra strength work to get to where he is at now."
