Stones, who was cleared after a scan last Saturday, explained why he did not immediately go off. “I thought: ‘If I have fractured it, get the docs, tablets, injections, whatever it is – I don’t want to miss out,’ which I think with my history of injuries and knowing how to deal with them mentally and being in a positive mind frame in that sense is really beneficial,” he said. “If it was bad, I was ready to go and gladly it wasn’t. It has got better every day.
Serbia will hope that Stones, who was back in training on Thursday, has not made a full recovery from his illness. “I haven’t been that bad in I couldn’t tell you how long,” he said.
