Johnson injury blow for Stoke

Glen Johnson could miss more than a month through injury, Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has announced.

Stoke City right-back Glen Johnson has been ruled out for at least three weeks, hampering the attempts of manager Mark Hughes to kick-start his team's spluttering season.

Sunderland visit bet365 Stadium on Saturday in a clash between the only two Premier League clubs without a win this season and the hosts will be without their former Liverpool fullback.

"Glen Johnson will be missing after sustaining a thigh injury in training on Tuesday," said Hughes. "It looks like we will be without him for three or four weeks, or even maybe longer.
