Blow for Stoke as Bojan ruled out for season

STOKE’S joy at reaching the last 16 of the FA Cup was short-lived after star performer Bojan was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Bojan, who opened the scoring  with a great finish in the 4-1 success at Rochdale on Monday, suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament injury at Spotland and will now undergo surgery.

The one-time Barcelona wonderkid has been in excellent form for the Potters and Mark Hughes told Stoke’s official website: “It’s bitterly disappointing for the club but even more so for Bojan as he was making such a big impact on the Premier League and clearly enjoying his football. We wish him a speedy recovery.”
