Injury-plagued Stoke City linchpin Nick Powell has been ruled out for six more weeks with a new quad muscle injury.
"Nick hasn't got going really since he came back from injury. He's had to continually come off," said O'Neill .
"Nick went for a scan on Monday and we got told six weeks," he told BBC Stoke.
"We have to make sure he stays on the pitch as he's an important player for us. But he's not been available very much this season so we've had to play without him at times and we'll play without him now again for the next six weeks.
