Mark Hughes hopeful Xherdan Shaqiri will return soon

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has said that he is hopeful that Xherdan Shaqiri's hamstring injury is not too serious.

Stoke's record signing limped off at the end of the first half in their 2-1 victory over Bournemouth and didn't re-emerge for the second period.

After the final whistle, Hughes told BBC Sport: "I haven't had an update yet - it looked like a hamstring so we'll settle him down tomorrow, have a scan on Monday and see what the damage is.

"He walked off so hopefully it isn't too bad."

The victory at the Britannia Stadium was Stoke's first of the season and has lifted them up to 17th place.
