Stoke city midfielder Liam Lawrence could miss his side’s next Premier League clash with Portsmouth after a freak injury caused by his dog.

Dog loving footballer Gilles De Bilde landed himself in trouble with football club Willebroek, who play in the Belgian league, after he missed a game to mourn the death of his dog.

The former Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa player is said to have not turned up for a league game following the death of his dog.
