John Stones nears his first full Serie A start for Inter

John Stones is expected to make his first start for Inter in their upcoming Serie A match against Napoli at the San Siro on Saturday. The England international joined the club on a free transfer after finishing his tenure with Manchester City earlier this summer. Stones has appeared as a substitute in Inter's opening victories over Monza and Cagliari. Napoli enters the contest without midfielder Scott McTominay, who is sidelined for a minor heart procedure. Reports indicate Antonio Vergara may start in the Napoli midfield in place of Kevin De Bruyne, though the former Manchester City player remains in contention for involvement. Inter currently holds two wins to start the domestic season as they prepare for this weekend’s fixture.
