Fuller set to miss cup final
by Setanta Staff , 25 April 2011
Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller suffered an Achilles injury in the draw with Aston Villa and could miss the FA Cup final.
The Jamaican international will definitely miss the game, against Wolves, on Tuesday but it is feared Fuller has a ruptured Achilles, which would see him miss the FA Cup final with Manchester City on May 14.
Boss Tony Pulis will wait for results of a scan before confirming whether or not the Potters star will be available for the showdown at Wembley, but he admits it looks unlikely Fuller will be fit in time.
He told the Sentinel: "We're hoping it's not as bad as people think, but it doesn't look good.
"I don't really want to comment much until we know the results of the scan.
"We're just hoping and praying it isn't anything serious for Ricardo. I thought he may have been kicked at the time, but Ric says it just popped as he landed."
