Moses likely out for the season – Hughes

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has revealed that on-loan winger Victor Moses is expected to be out for the rest of the season.

Moses, on loan from Chelsea, suffered a hamstring injury during Stoke’s 1-1 Premier League draw at West Ham last weekend.

Hughes told the club’s official website: “It may well be that Victor’s season is over unfortunately because of the type of injury he has got. He might get back but at the moment we’re probably thinking that he won’t make it.

“It’s a shame because Victor has done really well since he’s been with us.

“He was our shining light in the early part of the season and then unfortunately he got a couple of quite serious injuries that held him back and in the end he hasn’t been able to finish the season with us.

“He’ll look back on his time with us and think he’s made an impression and done well and we’d agree with that because he’s been a really important figure for us this season.”

While Moses may have featured for the final time this term, fellow Stoke forward Peter Odemwingie is hopeful of featuring again before the end of the campaign.

Odemwingie suffered a serious knee ligament injury in August’s 1-0 victory at Manchester City but will resume full training on Thursday.

“I played a few small-sided games last week and I’ll be back in the fold and hopefully I’ll be ready as soon as possible,” the 33-year-old told Stoke’s official website.

“It has been tough but the medical staff have been brilliant and helped me enormously.”
