Etherington a doubt for FA Cup final
Stoke winger Matthew Etherington is in danger of missing the FA Cup final after suffering a hamstring injury in the Barclays Premier League win over Wolves.
Etherington pulled up suddenly clutching the back of his leg during the 3-0 victory at the Britannia Stadium. He now faces a race against time to be fit to face Manchester City at Wembley on May 14.
Etherington's injury follows those suffered by striker Ricardo Fuller (ruptured Achilles) and defender Danny Higginbotham (knee), with both men already ruled out of the showpiece match.
Manager Tony Pulis said: "It is a massive disappointment for us. We won't know the extent of Matty's injury until Wednesday when he has a scan. But we will do our damnedest to make sure (he is ready) as he has 17-18 days yet. The first week is very important as we will get it sorted out.
"Then he will have 10 days after that to get it as strong as he possibly can to play in the final.
"Having lost Ricardo and Danny it is a massive blow because we haven't got the resources of Manchester City. It would have been tough enough with our best players."
