Stoke City vs Burnley - Charlie Adam back for Burnley clash

Stoke welcome back midfielder Charlie Adam from suspension for their must-win clash with Burnley on Sunday.

The Scot has sat out the last three matches, but comes back into contention while full-back Glen Johnson returned to training on Friday following a groin problem.

But the Potters will still be without defender Kostas Stafylidis (fractured rib) and forward Eric Choupo-Moting (groin).

Burnley are crossing their fingers over James Tarkowski’s fitness.

Ben Mee is still out with a shin injury and fellow centre-half Tarkowski has been recovering from a knock suffered in Thursday’s defeat to Chelsea.

Scott Arfield is absent with a calf problem while Jon Walters, Steven Defour and Robbie Brady are all recovering from varying knee complaints.
