Stoke City could be boosted by the return of striker Mamady Sidibe for their next Premier League match against Portsmouth.

The Mali international has been out of action since damaging knee ligaments against Fulham in mid-December.

But following two months on the sidelines, the powerful frontman could return against Pompey at the Britannia Stadium on February 21.

"My fitness is there and, if everything goes well, I hope to be back for Portsmouth," he said

However, Sidibe is not expecting to walk back into the side following the January arrivals of fellow strikers James Beattie and Henri Camara.

"I know I'll have to wait for my chance because it's been nearly two months since I got injured," he continued.

"We needed to bring players in, that's what we've done and it's good for the team."
