Mark Robins says Stoke's 'unprecedented' injury crisis has seen over 10 players injured, including goalkeepers Viktor Johansson and Gavin Bazunu plus attackers Divin Mubama and Sam Gallagher. Illness has also spread through the camp as Stoke won just three of their last 15 Championship games.
Despite the crisis, Robins looks forward to facing Premier League Fulham in the FA Cup. He acknowledged Stoke's attacking struggles - two goals in six games - but backed new signing Milan Smit to develop with time.
