Stoke boss Lambert undecided on using new signing Ndiaye

Stoke City manager Paul Lambert says he will make a late decision on whether to involve new signing Badou Ndiayeon Saturday against Bournemouth.

The midfielder joined from Galatasary on transfer deadline day, and subsequently will train with the team for the first time on Friday.

Lambert said: "He had one or two things to tie up so we'll see him tomorrow. I spoke to him the other night before his medical. I'll see him tomorrow fully and he'll train.

"He is going to the World Cup and as I said before he's been a massive part of Senegal and Galatasary. I think he'll give us something different we don't have. I think he'll fit in great once he finds his feet.

"I'll assess it tomorrow. We'll see how he feels but he is ready to go. We'll just have to judge it by tomorrow."
