Etherington's injection of form
Stoke's Matthew Etherington has taken a sugar injection in a bid to recapture his best form as he continues to struggle with back problems.[LNB] The winger missed City's 2-0 defeat at Swansea in the last game before the international break and has since undergone treatment with manager Tony Pulis desperate for consistency within his side.[LNB]Etherington made 30 Premier League appearances last season, netting five goals for the Potters, but is yet to get off the mark in this campaign.[LNB]Pulis told The Sentinel: "He's had the injection in his back and we are hoping he's okay for the Fulham game on Saturday.[LNB]"He's been a bit stiff around the hamstring area, but it's been more back related. We're hoping these injections will settle him down and get him up and running again.[LNB]"We are waiting for Matty and Jermaine Pennant to hit top gear. Getting that consistency is so important to us."[LNB]
