Matthew Etherington has sustained a hamstring injury in Stoke’s victory over Wolves tonight which threatens to end his season and rob him of a start in the FA Cup Final.
The former Spurs winger was stretchered from the field at the Britannia after 31 minutes of the 3-0 win after pulling up whilst attempting to beat his man.
Etherington was named in our Scout Pick selection for the gameweek and attracted interest for Stoke’s double fixture with over 75,000 Fanatsy Premier League managers drafting him in. The winger, who has been a reliable contributor of Fantasy returns when fit, will now be a major doubt for the trip to Blackpool this weekend and his season could be in doubt.
Tony Pulis stated post-match that Etherington will undergo a scan tomorrow so we should get a full prognosis in the next 24-hours…
“It would be a massive disappointment if Matty misses the final, but we will know more when he has had the scan…We’ve got 18 days to get him right which means seven or eight days to get it right and then 10 days to get it as strong as possible.”
