(Reuters) - Manchester City defender John Stones could return from injury in two weeks and be available for the World Cup while midfielder Kalvin Phillips could also make it to Qatar following shoulder surgery, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

Stones went off after hurting his hamstring in England's Nations League draw against Germany on Monday, casting doubt over his participation in the Nov. 20-Dec. 18 World Cup.
