(Reuters) - Manchester City defender John Stones needs to show consistency of form and fitness to silence critics and establish himself as the first-choice centre back for the Premier League champions, former club captain, Vincent Kompany, has said.
Stones' time at City since joining in 2016 for a reported fee of 47.5 million pounds has been marked by error-prone displays and injury struggles, putting the 25-year-old below Aymeric Laporte in the pecking order last season.
"The one thing I wish for him is consistency - consistency of games and consistency of fitness - and then he will show the world how good he is," Kompany, who joined Anderlecht as player-manager after leaving City in May, told British media.
