Suffering a bad injury while on loan with Deportivo La Coruña, Joselu won’t be returning to Stoke City early.
Suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament, the 26-year-old has said that he will stay in Spain for his treatment, even if Stoke are ‘worried’ about his condition.
Speaking in a press conference, relayed by Marca, he said: “I spoke with Stoke. They’re concerned. The physios there are friends of mine, but Deportivo have a great medical staff and I wanted to be treated here as I feel very comfortable and hope to recover quickly.”
Joselu was 24 minutes into his debut for his new club when Raul Garcia’s tackle cut the striker’s game short, a tackle for which the midfielder has already apologised for.
During his time at Stoke, the former Real Madrid and Hoffenheim goalscorer scored four goals in 27 appearances.
