Stoke boss Mark Hughes insists there is no cause for concern regarding the recent injury problems experienced by Ryan Shawcross. Shawcross has been a virtual ever-present performer at the heart of the Potters defence for some time, but the club captain has been restricted to 16 appearances this season.The 28-year missed the start of the season having undergone back surgery over the summer, and after returning to action in October, he suffered another back problem towards the end of last month which is expected to rule him out for three to four weeks. Speaking ahead of Saturdays match against Aston Villa, Hughes said he hoped Shawcross might be able to return in another weeks time.When asked if he had concerns over Shawcross in the long-term, Hughes said: Hes not that old, is he?This is a completely different injury to the previous one, and I just think it was a consequence of the period we went through after he came back before.We came through a lot of really high intensity games in a short period and I think that compromised him. But I dont think long-term theres any concern in terms of managing his game time. I think he will always have a good number of games in any given season. Stoke boss Mark Hughes watched his side beat Aston Villa earlier in the season Certainly we will be more mindful if he gets twinges - it would be silly not to register them or put him in situations where he might be compromised again.But I dont have any real concerns in that regard. He wants to come back making sure he is available for all the games through to the end of the season. That is his goal, and we fully support him on that.Stoke have not played since their 3-1 Premier League victory at Bournemouth on February 13, with Hughes taking his players to a training camp in Dubai in between.They return to action against a Villa side in dire straits, lying eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the table with 12 matches to go.Asked if he thought Villa are doomed, Hughes said: I think its very difficult - you get to a point where you end up running out of games, even if you have had a big swing in form or momentum.It may be theyre coming to point where theyll feel like that. But they are not out of it and while they still feel they can stay in the league, they will have a go.
