Joe Allen: Wales midfielder to miss Stoke run-in but should be fit for Euros, says O'Neill

Joe Allen is set to miss the remainder of Stoke City's season, but should be fit for Euro 2020, according to Potters boss Michael O'Neill.

O'Neill says the 31-year-old is unlikely to return before the Championship season ends on 8 May.

"There's no point us rushing him back to play," O'Neill said.

"Joe always wants to play - you kind of have to put the reins on Joe a little bit.

"The injury is more serious than we first thought when he came off in the game for Wales, but I don't think there's any risk for him (regarding) participating in the Euros.
