Stones joins calls for perspective
John Stones has echoed Harry Kane’s pleas for perspective following England’s embarrassing 4-0 home defeat to Hungary.
The Three Lions were dismantled by Marco Rossi’s men at Molineux in the Nations League last night and fans in attendance voiced their displeasure at the full-time whistle.
Boss Gareth Southgate is facing intense scrutiny as a result but Manchester City defender Stones called for calm in an Instagram post.
Stones, 28, said "A disappointing night to end the season but perspective is definitely needed.
"Time now for us all to have a break with our families and friends. We will rest, relax and I look forward to what could be a huge season coming up.
"Thank you to our fans, as always, for your support and being behind us through highs and lows."
His message mirrors post-match comments from England skipper Kane, who said: "Let's not forget where we have come from.
"Our first final in 60 years, a semi-final in the World Cup, compared to where we have been in the previous 50 years."
England have two scheduled fixtures remaining before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar in November — a trip to Milan to face Italy on September 23 and Germany's visit to Wembley three days later.
Carabao Cup draw date confirmed
The draws for the first round of the Carabao Cup and Papa Johns Trophy group stage will be held on Thursday, June 23.
While Premier League fixtures are due to be released tomorrow morning, fans of Football League clubs must wait another week to find out their team’s 2022-23 schedule.
And it has now been confirmed that both cup draws will accompany that announcement.
An EFL statement confirmed: "The Papa Johns Trophy group stage draw will take place live on Sky Sports News at 11.30am.
"The Carabao Cup round one draw will take place live on Sky Sports News at 2.30pm, also on Thursday, June 23."
