Keeper Butland in line for Stoke recall

Stoke could have goalkeeper Jack Butland back in contention for the visit of Championship leaders Norwich.

Butland sat out the 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on Good Friday, having become a father for the first time overnight, as Adam Federici deputised between the posts.

Defenders Ryan Shawcross and Bruno Martins Indi both missed the Boro game through unspecified injuries, so 17-year-old Nathan Collins could feature again.

Midfielder Tom Ince continues his recovery from a hamstring problem.

Norwich, who could secure promotion if results go their way, will have midfielder Emi Buendia available again following a three-match ban.

Striker Jordan Rhodes should be back in the squad after he was ineligible to play against parent club Sheffield Wednesday.

Mario Vrancic is pressing for a starting place after the midfielder came off the bench to score a fine free-kick deep into stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw against the Owls.

Midfielder Louis Thompson and forward Carlton Morris have stepped up their recoveries following injury lay-offs, so could be in contention.
