Wales compromised Allen's fitness: Hughes
Oct 13, 2016 - 9:43 PM Stoke boss Mark Hughes has accused Wales of compromising the fitness of Joe Allen after the midfielder returned from international duty with a hamstring injury.Allen picked up the injury after scoring in the 2-2 draw in Austria and sat out the following game against Georgia in Cardiff.
But Hughes believes Allen did too much with Chris Coleman's men and as a result is a doubt for this week's Premier League clash with Sunderland.
Hughes told Stoke's official website: "We're still checking on Joe, he hasn't trained with the group yet.
"We've just got to be a little bit careful with him; unfortunately he probably did a little bit too much with the Welsh squad.
"We're hopeful that he's going to be okay and we'll have to check on him tomorrow."
