    [h=1]QPR v STOKE: Sorensen comes into side to boost fitness ahead of Euro 2012[/h]
    By Sportsmail Reporter
    PUBLISHED: 12:27 GMT, 4 May 2012 | UPDATED: 12:27 GMT, 4 May 2012
    Thomas Sorensen will reclaim Stoke's number one jersey from Asmir Begovic for Sunday's trip to Barclays Premier League strugglers QPR.

    Boss Tony Pulis confirmed on Friday the Dane will play in the final two games of the season to ensure he is match sharp ahead of the European Championships next month.

    Euro star: Thomas Sorensen hasn't featured in the Premier League since February in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham

    Winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) and defender Andy Wilkinson (groin) remain doubtful after missing Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Everton while midfielder Rory Delap (back) is also struggling.

    Provisional squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Upson, Wilkinson, Shotton, Wilson, Woodgate, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Pennant, Delap, Palacios, Jones, Jerome, Crouch, Walters, Fuller.

    Shouldn't that be "winger Jermaine Pennant ( prison) remains doubtful"?

    A back injury (even if he's passed fit to play) is the worst thing for him re. his long throws.

    While I'd still expect Stoke to be fired up (they don't play any other way), it sounds like Pullis isn't too focused if that's his criteria for team selection.

    I just hope we pepper/torment Sorensen enough to make him sharp for their final game....

    I'd rather Delap played. He's one of the worst players in the league and would be in League 1 at best without the throws. Shotton's throws are nearly as good and he's a far better player.

    Hard to get a run up on our pitch for an ultra long throw in.

    Shotton also has very long throw-ins. We're still screwed when it comes to throw-ins

    I agree. Delap is average at best. He retains his position due to those throws. Think he even just signed a new deal.

    Meanwhile at Loftus Road, Sean Wright Phillips (useless) and Jay Bothroyd (completely useless) will likely miss out.

    I hope crouch gives away a penalty or 2 when he comes back to defend.

    Remember the big brute that threw long for Millwall a few years ago and Ollie got Lee Cook to stand in his way every time. Yer man lost it and Nutted Cookie with the ball and got sent off!

    A similar tactic required this weekend I think. We could use Buz. He's used to getting nutted in the face..........

    Use SWP - by the time he reaches down to him to nut him he'll have lost balance and fallen flat on his fess

    That guy was so bad, for a couple of season's when a ref had a terrible game it was: "Oh so he had a Rennie then"?

    The bloke's Ned Kelly was the biggest I've ever seen on a sports field.
