Stoke winger Peter Odemwingie
needs knee surgery and faces a long spell on the sidelines.
He will have the operation in
the next fortnight.
"It's
a significant injury and unfortunately it's a long-term one but Peter has a
great attitude to work and life in general," Stoke manager Mark Hughes told the club's website.
"He's always got a smile
on his face and he's going to need those qualities. It will be a long road back
but we wish him well.
"He's going to have to
wait a couple of weeks before it's actually done but once the operation is done
we know he will work extremely hard to get back."
Odemwingie has been left out of
Stoke's 25-man Premier League squad, meaning he will not be able to play for
the Potters until January at the earliest.
The former West Brom forward scored five goals in 15
Premier League appearances for the Potters last season after joining from Cardiff in January.
