In the same week as Bojan was ruled out for the rest of the season by the serious knee injury he sustained in Monday's FA Cup game at Rochdale, Diouf has returned to the Potters from African Nations Cup duty with Senegal and trained with his club-mates. Defender Erik Pieters remains unavailable as he recovers from a hernia operation. please log in to view this image Manager Harry Redknapp is expected to have both Yun Suk-Young and Richard Dunne available again for his side's visit to Stoke on Saturday. Yun has been out with an ankle injury and has not played since December 20 while Dunne came off against Manchester United with a groin strain two weeks ago, but has recovered. The match at the Britannia will come too soon for Sandro, who is close to returning from a knee problem, and Alejandro Faurlin remains out with a cruciate ligament injury. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Stoke City win: 8/13 Draw: 14/5 QPR win: 9/2 please log in to view this image QPR 2, Stoke City 2 – Premier League – Saturday 20th September 2014 Scorers: QPR – Caulker, Kranjcar; Stoke City – Diouf, Crouch please log in to view this image Stoke City wins: 10 Draws: 7 QPR wins: 17 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Referee: M Dean Assistant Referee: S Burt & S Child Fourth Official: A Madley WAGS please log in to view this image Abi Clancy (Crouch) please log in to view this image Nataly Hormazabel (Isla) please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Sir Stanley Matthews please log in to view this image Legend of football Sir Stanley Matthews' century to be marked at Stoke City v QPR match ... QPR will join Stoke City in celebrating what would have been Sir Stanley Matthews 100th birthday this weekend. Rangers head to the Britannia Stadium in the Barclays Premier League after a two week break from action. And through the Sir Stanley Matthews Foundation, which champions junior sport development, both sides will be accompanied onto the pitch at the Britannia Stadium by members of one of the oldest junior teams in Staffordshire – the Stone Dominoes. The match has also been designated as Stoke’s Kick It Out fixture with the R’s also supporting the initiative pre-match warming up in promotional t-shirts.
In a delightful cafe in Stoke where a steak and chips is £6. I'd be shocked if this isn't the highlight of the day.
Give 'em hell mate. Really hope you travelling fans get some reward today. What, with Isla, Fer and Vargas still out of position?
Actually I quite like the team....for a fairly adventurous away line up. (Yun must be slightly off being ready...I am sure Arry would have played him if he could...no I am not..that is b@@@@@) With a bit of potential on the bench
