(Reuters) - Stoke City could be without three senior centre backs for Saturday's trip to face Premier League champions Chelsea, manager Mark Hughes has said.
Skipper Ryan Shawcross limped out of Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town after 32 minutes with a calf injury while on-loan France international Kurt Zouma is ineligible to play against his parent club. Bruno Martins Indi has not recovered from a groin injury that kept him out of the last five games.
