Crouch to miss Kiev clash

Stoke’s record signing Peter Crouch will miss tomorrow night’s Europa League Group E clash with Dynamo Kiev having stayed at home as a precaution.

Crouch sat out a training session after making his debut for the Potters against Liverpool on Saturday and has not travelled to Ukraine, along with Matthew Etherington (back), Rory Delap (groin) and Marc Wilson (hamstring).
