Injured Osaze out for two weeks

In from Nifemi Daniel …
Super Eagles and Stoke City striker Osaze Odemwingie has been ruled out of this weekend’s clash against Tottenham and will be sidelined for two weeks after suffering a hamstring strain.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes confirmed that the Nigeria star suffered the injury in training.
“Unfortunately Peter has got a hamstring strain and is likely to miss the next couple of weeks,” Hughes said at the pre-match press conference.
“It’s disappointing for him because he has worked tremendously hard throughout pre-season.”
This news will come as a blow to the Nigerian international who endured a frustrating 2014/15 campaign after suffering knee ligament damage in the 1-0 triumph over Manchester City last August.

He did however make a full recovery back from that to feature in the latter stages of last season, and built upon that during the Potters’ hectic pre-season schedule.
Osaze stepped off the bench against Liverpool in last Sunday’s curtain-raiser, but will take no part in Saturday’s trip to White Hart Lane.
