The 31-year-old has not added to his 83 caps since last October, with injury ruling home out of the manager's first two squads after taking over at the start of the year.

Stones was selected for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, only for a muscular problem to bring his camp to a premature end.

"Unfortunately, John Stones just left," Tuchel revealed on the eve of the Group K clash with Andorra at Villa Park.
