Stoke City vs Crystal Palace - Indi to miss Stoke’s crucial clash with Crystal Palace

Stoke defender Bruno Martins Indi will miss Saturday’s Premier League home clash with Crystal Palace after coming off during the 0-0 draw at Liverpool last weekend with a groin problem.

Glen Johnson (groin) could be back involved having sat out the Anfield game, but Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (groin) and Kostas Stafylidis (rib) both remain unavailable.

The Potters have given Jese Rodriguez unpaid compassionate leave until the end of the season, effectively ending his loan from Paris St Germain.

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson will pick from an unchanged squad.

Connor Wickham missed training on Thursday with a calf injury but he was not expected to be involved anyway after a lengthy lay-off.

Scott Dann, Jason Puncheon and Bakary Sako remain long-term absentees, though Puncheon has returned to training.
