Nick Powell Stoke’s only absentee for visit of Derby
Posted Friday, August 16, 2019 by PA
Stoke manager Nathan Jones has a near full-strength squad at his disposal for the visit of Derby.
Midfielder Nick Powell is the only absentee as his calf injury is taking longer to heal than expected.
Powell joined from Wigan on a free transfer in the summer and played 68 minutes of the opening-day defeat at home to QPR.
Peter Etebo is in contention for a place in the side after playing the last 20 minutes of the Carabao Cup win over Wigan.
Krystian Bielik is hoping for a place in Derby’s starting XI for the game at the Britannia Stadium.
Bielik made his debut for the Rams in the Carabao Cup victory over Scunthorpe and the 21-year-old impressed manager Phillip Cocu.
Full-back Jayden Bogle has been ruled out for several games with an ankle injury suffered against Swansea last weekend.
Max Lowe deputised for Bogle on the right side of defence against Scunthorpe and could keep his place in the side.
