Marc Wilson or Geoff Cameron will replace Stoke City defender Robert Huth for Saturday's Premier League match at home to West Ham United, said manager Tony Pulis.
.
German Huth has been banned for three games after admitting a charge of violent conduct for an off-the- ball incident with Fulham's Philippe Senderos last weekend.
.
"It gives either Marc or Geoff a wonderful opportunity of coming into the middle alongside Ryan (Shawcross) this weekend," Pulis told the club website (www.stokecityfc.com) on Thursday.
.
"Ideally we would have liked to have Robert available because he is a fantastic player but we do have other options, both of whom have played internationally," he said of Irishman Wilson and American Cameron.
.
Midfielder Steven N'zonzi, who broke his nose against Fulham, is expected to be available after having a faceguard fitted.
.
Pulis said he would make a late decision on the fitness of midfielder Matthew Etherington and striker Michael Owen.
.
Stoke are 10th in the table with 33 points, three more than West Ham in 14th.
