Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has revealed that Ryan Shawcross and Xherdan Shaqiri are fit to face Liverpool on Sunday, but Marko Arnautovic is a doubt for the trip to Anfield.
Skipper Shawcross and winger Shaqiri are each set for their first appearance in three games after recovering from back and thigh problems respectively.
"Shawcross is available for Sunday," Hughes told reporters. "Given how he's progressed I don't think there's a need for [him to be involved with the U21s].
"Arnautovic twisted his knee last weekend [against Swansea City]. He played on, but there was a bit of discomfort. Maybe Sunday will be too soon for him."
Hughes also revealed that Glenn Whelan is a doubt after tweaking his back when getting out of his car.
