Stoke’s Pennant facing fitness test

Stoke will give a late fitness test to Jermaine Pennant ahead of their Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City agt the Britannia Stadium tomorrow.

Pennant came off with a hamstring problem only 11 minutes into last Saturday’s 3-0 win at West Brom and although a scan has revealed the damage to be not as bad as first feared, the winger remains a doubt for the City game.
