Bojan Krkic: "I'll come back stronger than ever"

Stoke City forward Bojan Krkic has vowed to "come back stronger than ever" from a cruciate knee ligament injury.

It was confirmed yesterday afternoon that the Spaniard had suffered the serious complaint during Stoke's 4-1 victory over Rochdale in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Monday night.

Reports have suggested that the 24-year-old could now be sidelined for up to nine months, but he has insisted that he will remain "positive" during his rehabilitation.

I will be positive, I'll face it with a smile.. I promise u that I'll come back stronger than ever. Thks for ur love,I really appreciate it.
