Stoke have confirmed that Ben Wilmot broke his back following an awkward fall against West Brom on Saturday.
The injury to Wilmot, a former England Under-21 international, overshadowed Stoke’s 2-1 Championship defeat to the Baggies at the bet365 Stadium.
Defender Wilmot required oxygen, and left the field on a stretcher, following a collision with West Brom’s Thomas Asante in the first half.
On Monday, Stoke manager Alex Neil said the 23-year-old, who has made 41 appearances for the Potters this season, remains in hospital and will be sidelined for the rest of the campaign.
Stoke tweeted: “Alex Neil has confirmed Ben Wilmot has sustained a fracture in his back and will miss the rest of the season.
“Wishing you speedy recovery, @BenWilmot6.”
