Stoke lose Jones for three weeks
Stoke striker Kenwyne Jones has been ruled out for three weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered against Tottenham in midweek.[LNB] The former Sunderland man had to leave the pitch during Tuesday night's Carling Cup clash, which Stoke won on penalties.[LNB]A scan has revealed that there is only minor damage to the hamstring and he could return for the game against Fulham on October 15.[LNB]Before then, the Potters play Manchester United, Besiktas and Swansea before heading into the international break.[LNB]Despite competing for a place with Cameron Jerome, Peter Crouch and Jon Walters, Jones has played in nine of Stoke's 11 games this season and scored against Norwich in August.[LNB]Assistant manager Dave Kemp told the club's official website: "There is a slight problem, but it's nothing too serious.[LNB]"Kenwyne will miss this weekend's game and more than likely next week's two games as well, but after that we have the break which will give him a bit of time to get up and running again.[LNB]"It is disappointing for us, and for him, because he has carried on from the end of last season with his form and done very well for us.[LNB]"He looked extremely bright against Tottenham before he had to come off."
