MANCHESTER CITY’S pursuit of John Stones may hit a bump as Roy Hodgson gets tough with his players.
Pep Guardiola is eyeing a £45million-plus move for the Everton centre-back, 22, as he tries to reshape his squad.
But Hodgson, 68, is adamant England’s Euro 2016 campaign must take priority over personal matters.

The Three Lions chief said: “One thing this group of players know and have accepted very well is when you’re on England duty, you’re on England duty.
“It’s not a question of you sorting out your future or you diving off for medicals. We control all of that.
“You have to accept that there’s a good chance if you say, ‘Look I need to go for a medical.’ We’ll say, ‘No, we’re not allowing that, you better bring your people here.’”
“We’ll do everything we can to facilitate. We’re not trying to block players’ futures or transfers, but as far as we’re concerned our ongoing theme is ‘England’s England, your club’s your club’.
“When you’re with England, we want you to stay focused on us.”
