Stoke City defender Geoff Cameron could miss weeks after picking up thigh injury

Stoke City defender Geoff Cameron is out of Tuesday's Capital One Cup game against Chelsea after suffering an injury in his side's 2-0 defeat to Watford.

Cameron came off within the first 10 minutes of the match, and manager Mark Hughes has since confirmed that the USA international is suffering from a pulled thigh.

Meanwhile, Netherlands international Erik Pieters picked up his fifth booking of the season and will also miss the Chelsea clash to serve a one-match ban.

Pieters has started every game for the Potters this season, while Cameron has missed out on a starting place just once.
