Stoke have lost eight of their last 15 games and face a depleted squad for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Premier League side Fulham.
Robins confirmed double figures of injured players, including Bosun Lawal, Divin Mubama, and Lewis Baker, alongside illness spreading through the camp. Despite the challenges, the Potters manager looks forward to testing themselves against top-flight opposition, though he admits the attacking struggles are concerning.
