Stoke City boss Tony Pulis must decide the futures of three want-away players.

The Daily Mail says Stoke trio Glenn Whelan, Richard Cresswell and Danny Pugh all want to quit the club to find first-team football.

Two other fringe players, Andy Wilkinson and Carl Dickinson, are also keen on loan moves to try to get regular games, but manager Pulis is reluctant to let them leave in case of an injury crisis.
