Stoke City coach Paul Lambert is hopeful that Mame Biram Diouf will return to his squad when they face Arsenal in their next English Premier League encounter.
Diouf had missed the Potters’ last two encounters against Manchester City and Everton after damaging his shoulder in their draw with Southampton earlier this month.
However, the striker returned to action while on international duty with Senegal, featuring for 68 minutes as the Teranga Lions played a goalless stalemate with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Le Havre on Tuesday evening.
And the former Aston Villa gaffer is upbeat about the fitness of the 30-year-old ahead of their visit to the Emirates on Sunday.
