Stoke boss Mark Hughes has commented about Jose Mourinho, who has opted not to appeal his stadium ban and will not be at the Britannia on Saturday.

"Maybe he's tired of arguing his case," Hughes said. "It might impact negatively on the team but it might not.

"I don't anticipate him sneaking in with a laundry basket again. I'm not sure if it's for us or the FA to monitor him. Unless an FA official is sat on Jose's knee I'm not sure if anyone knows if he'll be here."
