Sidibe suffers injury blow
Stoke striker Mamady Sidibe looks likely to miss Sunday`s trip to Hull after suffering a setback in his return to full fitness.[LNB]Sidibe, who has recently come back into first-team contention following seven months out with a cruciate knee ligament injury, pulled his left hamstring in the opening minutes of last night`s reserve match against Chelsea, which the Potters went on to win 3-2.[LNB]The 29-year-old Mali international was substituted as a precaution and could now face a further spell on the sidelines.[LNB]Reserve team manager Mark O`Connor told the Sentinel: "He wanted to be strapped up to go back on, but there was no way that was going to happen. There was no hesitation in my mind to take him off.[LNB]"He has been out for a long time and there's no point rushing him. If he's not involved at the weekend, then we have a two-week break after that before we play Portsmouth.[LNB]"He's done fantastically to come back. He wants to play and wants to be out there. But you have to use your head a bit, and we can wait."
