Season › 2013-14 › News Pienaar set to miss another week Lyndon Lloyd , 15 October, 0comments | Jump to most recent South African needs more time for full recovery Steven Pienaar is unlikely to be fit enough to face Hull this weekend according to Roberto Martinez. Pienaar played in all of the Blues' first three Premier League games but suffered a hamstring tear in training prior to the Chelsea game a month ago. Manager Robert Martinez had indicated that both he and Antolin Alcaraz had a chance of facing Hull on Saturday but, mindful of not rushing the midfielder back, the Spaniard has revised his forecast for when the South African will return. "Probably Saturday is a little bit too early but I don't think he is going to be away for too long now," Martinez told City Talk. "All the signs have been positive but we have to be careful we don't push him too early." About these ads © ToffeeWeb
