Stoke City forward Bojan Krkic has vowed to "come back stronger than ever" from a cruciate knee ligament injury.
It was confirmed yesterday afternoon that the Spaniard had suffered the serious complaint during Stoke's 4-1 victory over Rochdale in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Monday night.
Reports have suggested that the 24-year-old could now be sidelined for up to nine months, but he has insisted that he will remain "positive" during his rehabilitation.
Bojan has scored five goals for the Potters since his summer move from Barcelona.
