Stoke City injury crisis close to getting better in boost for Robins

Mark Robins says Stoke City’s ongoing injury crisis is close to improving.

The Potters remain without several key players including Divin Mubama, Viktor Johansson, Junior Tchamadeu, Sam Gallagher, Lewis Baker and others ahead of the clash with Oxford United.

But speaking ahead of Wednesday’s game, Stoke boss Robins said on possible returning players: “Very close now.

“There are three or four pretty close. That’s going to be probably be, if not for Coventry, then potentially for Swansea.

“They then start to reintegrate then and after that we are looking to get a few more back.”
