Stoke manager Michael O’Neill has suffered a number of injury blows ahead of the visit of Sunderland.
Josh Tymon (ankle) and Harry Clarke (shin) picked up injuries in the win against Blackpool earlier this month and although Tymon returned against Huddersfield, he aggravated the problem in the 3-1 defeat.
O’Neill believes Tymon will be out for four to six weeks, with Clarke sidelined for six weeks, while Josh Laurent is sidelined for up to two months with ankle ligament damage and Harry Souttar, who is recovering from anterior cruciate ligament damage, is expected to be unavailable until October.
