Jones set for Stoke return

Stoke striker Kenwyne Jones is poised to make his first-team comeback in tomorrow’s Europa League Group E clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Britannia Stadium.

Jones, who has been sidelined with a hamstring problem, returned to the matchday squad as an unused substitute for the 2-0 Barclays Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday. He looks set to start against Israeli side Maccabi, as do defender Robert Huth and goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.
