BIRMINGHAM, England — Center back John Stones has sustained a fresh injury setback in Manchester City's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League. The England player was substituted at halftime on Saturday after his first start in a month due to a foot issue. That injury flared up again, City manager Pep Guardiola says. Guardiola has cited injuries as a factor in the four-time defending Premier League champion's alarming slump. City has lost nine of its last 12 games in all competitions.
