John Stones has now reacted after Manchester City posted footage of the 29-year-old getting nutmegged by Jack Grealish.
The Citizens uploaded the video onto Instagram.
So, how did John Stones react after Manchester City posted the clip involving Jack Grealish? Let’s take a look…
John Stones sends message to Manchester City after Jack Grealish nutmeg
Well, Manchester City posted a video of the England international slipping the ball between the defender’s legs.
As is often the case when a nutmeg occurs, the rest of the squad erupt, with Grealish even sinking to his knees in celebration.
In response to the footage, Stones jokingly wrote: “I request you post all of my megs on everyone please 😂”.
Clearly, the Manchester City No.5 feels hard done by.
In the video, Stones can even be heard referencing the “70 times” he has nutmegged someone which did not get caught on camera – sounds a bit far fetched, in our view.
Above all, spirits are clearly high at the Etihad Campus with everyone seemingly in a good mood.
Even Stones – who apparently feels hard done by – is only appearing to act in jest, smiling at the cameras as he hugs Kevin De Bruyne after the nutmeg occurs.
John Stones nears return for Pep Guardiola
It has been a difficult season for the Manchester City No.5 as injuries continue to disrupt his progress.
However, Stones was back on the bench for Pep Guardiola in Friday’s 1-0 FA Cup win over Tottenham, and when he is eventually ready to return to the starting XI in his unique hybrid role, Manchester City should go up a gear.
Hopefully, the Barnsley-born defender can avoid any more injury setbacks as Manchester City aim to defend last season’s historic treble.
Erling Haaland is also close to a return to the starting XI after a foot problem – a player who should also have a transformative impact on the side.
