Matthew Etherington is a doubt for Stoke City this weekend after suffering a whiplash injury when his taxi was pranged by another car.
The 32-year-old winger had hailed a cab outside Stoke-on-Trent train station yesterday morning and was en route to training when the accident happened.
The Potters’ players were given the day off on Thursday and Etherington is understood to have travelled down to London.
He returned by train and was due into work on time when the collision occurred.
'I think it was a significant one,' said manager Mark Hughes, 'Matthew wasn’t expecting it, that’s for sure.
'He told me he was checking his phone when the taxi was hit from behind.
'Consequently, he’s got a bit of whiplash. We are hopeful that he will be okay for the game against Norwich tomorrow.'
I only hope the driver was insured with @WestminsterMike.
