Doubts over Delap and Diao

Stoke are sweating on fitness tests for their long throw specialist Rory Delap and fellow midfielder Salif Diao ahead of tomorrow’s home clash against Fulham.

Delap had an injection in a bid to cure an arm injury this week, while Diao has been under treatment since limping off with a calf problem in the first half of last week’s draw at Newcastle.
