Shawcross returns for Potters

Stoke will have key defender Ryan Shawcross back in their squad for the first time since late February for the tough trip to Barclays Premier League title chasers Chelsea on Sunday.

Shawcross has been out with an ankle injury and boss Tony Pulis has confirmed he will be in the party at Stamford Bridge, but is unlikely to be in the starting line-up.
