Stoke's Hughes gives credit to Chelsea for Moses condition

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes was grateful to Chelsea for the way they dealt with Victor Moses' injury recently.

The Nigerian winger, who is on a season-long loan from the Blues, has been sidelined for seven weeks with a thigh injury and during that time went back to west London for treatment.

Moses is now back with the Potters and Hughes was hoping to get some minutes into the 24-year old in Sunday's trip to Arsenal.

"Victor is back in the group and he looks okay, he looks sharp, but whether or not he is ready to start that's something I need to mull over," said Hughes.

"But credit to Chelsea, he's come back well in terms of the rehab they gave him. He's bang on track.

"We'll be careful because prior to his injury he was arguably our best performer."

So far this season, the former Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic young gun has made 10 Premier League appearances for Stoke with his last appearance coming in the 2-1 home loss to Burnley on November 22.
