Rowett set to freshen things up as struggling Stoke host Hull
Posted Thursday, August 23, 2018 by PA
Stoke boss Gary Rowett needs to find answers fast against Hull after the Potters’ start to the season took another turn for the worse with a 3-0 home loss to Wigan.
Ashley Williams was sent off against the Latics and Rowett would like to see Bruno Martins Indi return in his place provided he has recovered sufficiently from an Achilles problem.
Cuco Martina, on loan from Everton, might also win a debut after watching from the bench.
Charlie Adam, Bojan Krkic, Mame Biram Diouf, Peter Crouch and Oghenekaro Etebo are all options to freshen up a wilting side.
Nigel Adkins will be tempted to stick the team that earned Hull a first win of the season at Rotherham in midweek.
Stephen Kingsley missed that game after suffering a concussion and will need to be assessed ahead of a first-team return.
If he misses out, Eric Lichaj should continue to deputise at left-back, with Todd Kane on the right.
Kamil Grosicki continues to train and travel but is likely to leave the club in the coming days.
