Last Updated: Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:12 Stoke are confident that winger Matthew Etherington is going to be fit to return from a back problem in front of Saturday's visit of Aston Villa. Potters assistant chef Dave Kemp confirmed the gamer pulled up with a straight back pressure in teaching which triggered him lacking last Saturday's 1-0 beat against Everton at Goodison Park. But, Etherington has increased this week and Kemp is hoping he will be available to produce his 350th league start in as a six-pointer against third-bottom Villa, who're four factors behind the Potters what is being billed. Speaking of Etherington's chances of featuring and his importance to the staff, Kemp told the Sentinel: "Matty's been ideal for us ever since he signed along side James Beattie in that first period we were in the Premier League. "Both were very important signings for people. James Beattie has managed to move on, but Matty's stayed and develop into a vital element of our team. When he's maybe not playing he is missed by us. "He was training ok prior to the Everton game, but pulled up with a stress. "It relates to his back and we have to handle the problem until the end of the summer season, when he'll be in a position to rest and be 100 percent recovered." Have you an impression on this story?
