Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has confirmed that Bojan Krkic underwent successful knee surgery earlier this week.
The 24-year-old could be sidelined until October after suffering knee ligament damage during the Potters' 4-1 victory over Rochdale in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
"He had an operation earlier this week, which is great news for him, and of course for us," Hughes said in this morning's press conference. "He has a rehabilitation programme to go through now."
Bojan, who was once tipped to become the new Lionel Messi during his youth career at Barcelona, joined Stoke last summer.
