Ian Poulter's Ryder Cup hopes in doubt after foot injury

"Right now, rest and rehab take priority in me returning to full strength."

Ian Poulter is expected to miss the next four months of the season due to a foot injury, effectively ending his chances of qualifying automatically for the Ryder Cup.

Poulter is currently 42nd on the European Points list, but could still feature at Hazeltine as one of European captain Darren Clarke's five vice-captains.
