Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has confirmed Brek Shea is in his squad for their clash with Fulham.
Shea was snapped up last month from FC Dallas.
Pulis said: "I think Brek has been out for three or four months with an injury, so this is almost like a pre-season for him, but he is a fit lad I have to say.
"The work we have done with him has shown that he is very mobile and athletic, and very willing as well. So he is not far away.
