Tuncay struggling to overcome injury

Striker Tuncay Sanli is a major doubt for Stoke ahead of tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League match against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Tuncay limped off at the end of the first half of Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Fulham with a hamstring injury, although scans have since indicated the injury is not as bad as first feared.

Goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen is expected to recover from a finger injury he damaged further in the warm-up ahead of the game with the Cottagers and replace Steve Simonsen who deputised that night.

Team (from): Sorensen, Huth, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Collins, Lawrence, Sidibe, Whitehead, Delap, Diao, Tonge, Kitson, Beattie, Etherington, Fuller, Tuncay, Cort, Pugh, Whelan, Simonsen.
