Pulis ponders Fuller decision

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is considering risking Ricardo Fuller in tomorrow’s home Barclays Premier League clash with Blackburn.

The striker dislocated his right shoulder in last Sunday’s 2-1 win over Newcastle but scans revealed no fracture and he could be on the bench at the Britannia Stadium.

Pulis’ other worries are defender Andy Wilkinson, who has a slight knee problem, and Jermaine Pennant, who missed the Newcastle clash with a hamstring injury.

Provisional squad: Sorensen, Huth, Faye, Collins, Shawcross, Delap, Etherington, Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Walters, Fuller, Jones, Gudjohnsen, Wilkinson, Higginbotham, Wilson, Begovic, Diao.
