Stoke City forward Bojan Krkic looks set to be fit for Monday night's Premier League game against Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium.
Bojan, who has been in good form for the Potters over the last few weeks, sustained a hip injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes said of the Spaniard at Thursday's press conference: "It is a little bit early, but he has trained today and yesterday and we don't anticipate there will be any problems.
"He is still a little sore given where the injury was, but we fully expect he will be okay."
Defender Marc Muniesa will be available to face the Blues having recovered from his hamstring problem.
Hughes is also optimistic a knee problem picked up by Stephen Ireland will not keep the midfielder out.
