Mark Hughes is confident his inform duo Mame Biram Diouf [hamstring] & Victor Moses [thigh] will be available to face Swansea on Sunday after the pair responded well to treatment over the international break. Geoff Cameron [hernia] is also back in contention after missing the past two months following surgery but Marko Arnautovic is rated as “touch & go” after the Austrian forward was forced off with a hip injury midweek. Glenn Whelan [knee] is expected to miss out after The Potters sent their midfielder for a scan [suspected knee ligament damage] with defender Robert Huth struggling to make the game because of a calf strain. Peter Odemwingie [ACL] will target a return this season. 

For Garry Monk, full-back Jazz Richards' brief foray into the first team after a three year Premier League absence could be over as Angel Rangel returns following his one game domestic ban – Dwight Tiendalli is back in contention having recovered from a minor groin problem. Leon Britton [bruised patella] is progressing but is still not training fully – the midfielder hopes to return in November. Jordi Amat [knee ligaments] remains sidelined but isn’t far away while youngster Rory Donnelly [ankle] is still out.
