Ibrahim Afellay could play a full 90 minutes for Stoke for the first time in more than a year but Jonathan Walters' inflamed knee will keep him out.
Marc Muniesa (knee) is fit but Wilfried Bony, Mame Diouf and Ramadan Sobhi are on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Wolves are expected to make changes, with Mike Williamson back from long-term injury absence.
Dominic Iorfa, Kortney Hause and fit-again Prince Oniangue are also expected to face the Potters.
MATCH FACTS
