Dislocated shoulder for Jamaican striker

Stoke City have been boosted by the news that Ricardo Fuller's shoulder injury is not as bad as initially feared. The Jamaican striker came on as a second-half substitute in Sunday's 2-1 win at Newcastle, but lasted just 18 minutes before being helped off. The striker suffered a shoulder injury and it had been feared that the 30-year-old had sustained a fracture. However, it has emerged he only suffered a dislocated shoulder and manager Tony Pulis is hopeful of a short spell on the sidelines. Fuller dislocated his shoulder two years ago against Sunderland and returned to action within 10 days on that occasion.
