Injury expert Ben Dinnery gives us his customary pre-match availability update
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.
