Stoke City attacker Jon Walters has hailed the quality of Tony Pulis' squad.

Pulis could already field half-a-dozen international regulars after losing the likes of Ricardo Fuller, Thomas Sorensen and Eidur Gudjohnsen to overseas assignments over the past week, while Ryan Shawcross and Matthew Etherington have been touted regularly for England recognition.

"The quality of the players is obviously improving here and so I don't see why not," said Walters on the prospect of 11 internationals taking to the field for City.

"Ryan is young and has such a good future with England the way he's been going, while Matty has been unlucky not to get a look in as well.

"If you are playing well week-in, week-out you should be picked on your form."
