(Reuters) - Stoke City midfielders Joe Allen and Glenn Whelan are set to feature in Saturday's Premier League trip to 18th-placed Swansea, manager Mark Hughes said on Friday.

Allen, 11th-placed Stoke's joint top scorer with six goals, has been on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring strain in a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool earlier this month. Whelan missed the 2-1 victory over Hull City last weekend due to illness.
