Guardiola hoping Stones can make England squad despite Man City struggles

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hinted he'll give defender John Stones the best possible chance to make England's squad for EURO 2020.

Guardiola, however, is hopeful Stones can do enough to impress as he encouraged the English defender to put his best foot forward.
